Where I'm from in the US..You get time off your sentence, a better chance at parole, and a small check at the end of month depending on what you were doing..if you are lucky, you get to be outside on a golf course or a dog pound..I think mine was around 67 bucks a month..It's a no brainer for most people unless you just like sitting around watching TV and listening to people bicker/fight/od all day. Yoda, you think you are?
Well I will say ive done that last part, its not so bad playing cards and watching tv all day, what's hard is not having any control of who's around you and where they go. If you end up with considerate people its not so bad.
I dont think the choice is between hanging out in the rec room or working for too little pay. We are talking about specifically when inmates are forced to work, or endure punishments.
