Couldn't do a worse job than some of the contractors NTL use....
Actually, I don't think anyone here is AGAINST the idea of community service (although I am not sure having a line of prisoners breaking rocks would do any good). Even Graham has pointed out that it does seem to help rehabilitate prisoners (after all, if you ask someone to build something, they are more likely to take care of it when it's finished).
The issue here is whether to give them Uniforms, thus, presumably, marking them as community service personnel. I personally have no objection to this, as I don't see that it makes them stand out any more than a uniform for a job would. Graham, obviously disagrees.
