People forget this. They say “they need something to do in prison so it’s ok”. But what they don’t get is, when they get out they have a felony. They can’t get most regular jobs. So it usually “slave” labor as in minimum wage—which isn’t enough to live on and a lot have to come up with other means, and that usually ends up being what they know works: crime.
