Nobody needed it. They don't force people to work in prison, but if you do it shows your willingness to go with the program and better yourself instead of joining gangs. There's a good reason for people getting reductions in sentences or good boy points for working and it's not slavery.

If everyone is required to work, it's not really a "work and you leave sooner" situation it's a "don't work and you stay longer" situation. Besides if the work is already not cohersed, why would there be any opposition to banning cohersed labor?
