    Isn’t work in prisons usually a privilege? Is this something that is actually used? What happens when someone just doesn’t do what is asked of them?

      Solitary confinement, bread and water meals, and even beatings by guards have been reported by prisoners.

        Cool, thanks for the info. So, for everything except extreme cases where someone is going to be imprisoned until they die it is negatively impactful.

          They used to do “hard time” and make prisoners crush rocks with hammers to make gravel.
