> The pay rate does bother me... I can see why real pay isn't done

Is there a reason other than "because they can get away with it"?

[dalbasal → MikeUt]

A reason why its done, or why it bothers me?

[MikeUt → dalbasal]

Why it's done.

Prisoners need cash for commissary and prisons get less heat if they can say they payprisoners for work.

Just don't look into how much prison shit costs.

Oh, I meant why "real" pay isn't done - why they are paid a pittance.

Like I said:

>prisons get less heat if they can say they payprisoners for work

Who cares how much they get paid? They're prisoners! /sarcasm
