The rehab program is voluntary, if selected to go you may refuse. And in many cases participants have to apply and there is a waiting list to join. It’s an alternative to being on the prison grounds. If anyone is forced, then that is surprising and perhaps they should ship in volunteers from other districts if they cannot keep the programs full.
The act of doing work is a significant part of the treatment itself. And individuals should not be paid for their work. Because for those participating in the program it’s not about making money. It strongly fits with Christian ideas of charity (which have always been at odds with American ideas of capitalism)
My main complaint is that someone is making money off these people, and that money should have been directed to a bona fide charity.
