Those who don't work typically include the medically or mentally unfit, as well as the most dangerous offenders, the ones who can't be trusted to rake the yard without blinding another inmate.

Global arms proliferation must come to a grinding halt. We cannot condemn other countries for acting as merchants of death while our greedy corporations rake in money that should have remained in the Third World. These funds could have stayed in developing countries to sponsor projects such as irrigation or child vaccination--projects that increase the quality of life instead of promoting death and destruction. We need to support the people of the Third World...
