Lori Wilson explained that even with Prop. 6, prison labor would remain voluntary and inmates wouldn't face punishment for declining work, addressing crucial inmate rights.
Supporters emphasize that involuntary labor in prisons is essentially a remnant of slavery that should be abolished from the California constitution, reflecting a broader movement toward prison reform.
While Prop. 6 does not raise wages for inmates, it represents a significant shift in labor practices to ensure work is not coerced, aligning with evolving views on justice.
Wilson highlighted the financial burdens faced by ex-inmates, stating that many leave prison with more debt due to restitution fines, underscoring the economic implications of prison labor.
