Paying prisoners $1.50 an hour to clean up contaminated trash is pretty fucked up.
I mean if you paid them $10/h and put most of that in an account for them to receive upon release I could understand the argument for preparing them for reintegration into society. --- nu-horsemen 4evar [A GameFAQs Moderator was deleted by this message] ... Copied to Clipboard!

I still don't understand how they can get away paying them less than minimum. Even waitresses, which get paid less than minimum hourly because of the whole tips loophole, are legally entitled to minimum wage for that day from their boss if they don't receive any tips.

They should instead be paying the sanmen (my dad was a garbageman/plower/salter for my city and his email was always sanman[numbers]@someemaildomain.com) double, triple, quadruple...whatever it takes. Garbage management is really fucking important for any community and especially cities.

Even waitresses, which get paid less than minimum hourly because of the whole tips loophole, are legally entitled to minimum wage for that day from their boss if they don't receive any tips. The 13th Amendment explicitly has an exemption for prisoners as slaves. That's not a moral justification, it's still highly fucked up and needs to change, but that is the legality of it. --- I guess ... Copied to Clipboard!

So how does this work? Do you pay armed guards to follow every inmate in case they decide to make a run for it in the dumpster truck? Would paying those guards cost as much as paying the regular sanitation workers? Do the guards get PPE? If an inmate gets infected and brings it back to the prison and infects the whole place, will they get respirators?

will they get respirators it's on a case by case basis. everyone deserves a respirator if they're in stock (though that would change once supply's go low) give it to the one more likely to survive. --- Explorers In The Further Regions Of Experience, demons to some, Angels To Others: Pinhead ...

The article doesn't really go into too much detail on whether or not inmates are forced to do this or if they elect to do it. There's a lot of people that work in prisons for little pay because they chose to versus sitting in a cell all day

There's a lot of people that work in prisons for little pay because they chose to versus sitting in a cell all day I suppose it's good for posterity to verify this but it goes without saying that there will be enough prisoners to volunteer getting out of their cells for work.

I mean, strange thing to focus in on notwithstanding, they had told workers to report back to work on Friday despite not meeting the requirements for reopening.
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/08/business/economy/tesla-coronavirus-factory-alameda.html The nice sounding caveat about not reporting to work if they remain uncomfortable with the current situation is tempered by the fact that they will need to take annual or unpaid leave to cover it. --- https://imgur.com/nGZeEqw Do you really think you can beat me? ...
