"How about people living on minimum wage then that get to pay for everything themselves?"

How about them? Is it not a fundamentally flawed system when workers at the bottom of the scale wonder if they wouldn't be better off in prison? How do they feel about having to compete with forced labour?

What entitles consumers to pay sub-living wages in order to benefit from a product? This reminds me of people feeling entitled to pay shit prices for some services because "it's just a student job".

"Also, many people go to prison without any job experience, providing them with some increase their chances of reintegration to society."

yeah, by forming them to a job that can apparently no longer sustain a free farmer.
