#1 We'll see the long term unemployed doing this before prisoners. Either's good, though.

#2 Alabama uses Prisoners, not chain gang, to clear the roadway.

"I" see nothing wrong about it.

#4 That's brilliant, Bright Pebbles. Nobody can complain if it's voluntary.

#5 Here in the States the euphemism 'community service' is employed as a voluntary alternative to other punishment. You get a better gig/job depending on who you know or the public nature of your name [see numerous posts in the Burg on celebs]. There is even a provision in the 13th Amendment that a lot of people [to include the Judiciary] seem to ignore -

"Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."
