California's prisoners should not be subjected to abuse by their jailers. However, inmates ought not to dictate which chores they accept while incarcerated, supporting Proposition 6's rejection.
The fundamental issue at stake is whether inmates should contribute labor for their board and lodging, similar to societal expectations that apply to non-offenders.
Proposition 6 proposes altering the constitutional exceptions that currently allow involuntary servitude as punishment for crime, effectively enabling inmates to refuse work assignments without consequences.
This ballot measure is not merely legislative; it seeks to amend California's Constitution, potentially leading to extensive litigation over the definition of work assignments.
