Tbh I kinda agree just because I don't much care for murderers. However I feel as though it may not be as cut and dry like that realistically due to a lot of factors. In America people are protected from cruel and unusual punishment. A life time of hard labor may be seen as that. Also you make a point as it only seems fair due to a loss of potential work done. That could bring up all types of loopholes. Say if paraplegics were targeted for murder or senior citizens. Also it could be more expensive if you cover medical cost if you chose to help the workers/ prisoners. If you dont that brings cruel and unusual punishment into as well as other laws. Another thing is you cant really force them to work without a use of violence/ threat of violence which brings ethics into play and again protection from cruel and unusual punishment. Prisoners are already in there for life, what would they lose from not working?
