I don’t think years of no work are great for rehab. It makes it tough to adjust back into the flow of work once you’re out, when you’re already going to have a hard time getting back into the job market.
Work can be a part of the rehab process! Training for new jobs can be massive. Many crimes are due to socioeconomic struggles, so training can end this cycle, along with free education and support so that poorer people can still have time to go to college even if they dom’t make much money.
The best thing for the imprisoned is a justice system focused on rehabilitation into society, not forced labor and punishment.

Forced labor should be abolished.
