slave labor?

Winds whip California as New York digs out of snowstorm

Communities such as Highland in San Bernardino County were flooded again Wednesday because the ground is saturated with rain water, residents told CNN.

Highland Mayor Pro Tem Penny Lilburn said more than 500 inmates placed almost 150,000 sandbags outside homes and businesses to protect them from flood waters. The state inmates also removed "thousands of tons of mud and debris from our streets," Lilburn said in a statement.

inmates from private owned prisons?

would this be allowed in County, State or Fed. prisons and jails?

(how many of the 500 were in prison for pot - she wonders)

You would have thought the libs in that area would have volunteered to fill sand bags for the common good and, they wouldn't have needed the inmates.  :whatever:

Now if Bush was still in office they would be saying this was needed because the National Guard was all deployed in Bush's illegal world conquest.
You too, may have noticed, they haven't said a word about that since Jan of 2009.

When in many systems work credit can count towards good behavior/shortened sentences, I'm guessing a few minimum-security guys filling sandbags ain't such a bad thing.

Of course, I'm guessing ensho here has had much experience with the California "community service" crowd, donning the orange vests and cleaning trash off the freeways many a day...

I used to love driving on the highways in Maricopa County and watching Sheriff Joe's "slave laborers" cleaning up the shoulders and medians after the eco-friendly progressives.  :yahoo:

That is unfair to those who don't want to work though. Don't they have the right to sit in their cells and post at DU all day too?

IMHO, prisoners should be worked to pay for their incarceration. Baring that, I'm leaning toward the islamic justice system in many cases. Steal, lose a hand. Hurt or kill someone, get hurt or dead in kind. The DUmpmonkeys should be 100% behind this as they think islam is the bestest religion ever.

Hate to break it to the OP but here at the state HQ we have inmates handling our janitorial duties (some are actually pretty decent dudes and one wonders what their back story is all about).

Oddly enough they are called "trustees". I noted to my colonel: a trusteee is someone who is in charge of running a bank.

These guys? Not so much.
