"I suppose if you give people a choice between sitting in a prison cell and working on a construction gang then you aren't really enslaving them but still I'm not so sure I'd support the idea." Yes. I was thinking that there would be some benefit beyond sitting idle in a cell. Job training alone, and constructive activity is a benefit but there could also be some small financial incentives like they usually give inmates for work. I wasn't thinking they would be forced to build the wall under a whip or anything.
