The Big Bad Wolf.
What a bunch of B.S.!! Since when are criminals given a choice to work or not to work ??? They are at the mercy of the courts and they will work PERIOD if an officer of the court said so!!! Especially and even if on probation. I would believe the story if they had been umemployed people who signed up for work and then decided it was too hard. But.......criminals on probation??? Nope. Besides, there are many LEGAL field workers who would be more than willing to do this job. Come on!!!
Well there's that little "Cruel and Unusual" punishment thingie..
No great shakes for a conservative.
manual labor is not cruel or unusual, millions of americans do that for a living.
That's fairly dependent on the capablity and health of the person you are putting to work.
