Ed, I’m calling about “ex-cons run prison.” Kudos to Ms. Williams for turning her life around. But she’s earning over $80,000 a year and I’m just curious whether she has to pay anything back for the robbery and theft she committed. If not, maybe the Violent Crimes Commission should take some of her salary and pay back her victims. Other than that, I’m glad she turned her life around. As far as the convicted murderer, he doesn’t deserve to work. He took a life, so why should he get paid? His money should go back to the Violent Crimes Commission.

Payback

The murderer is a free man. We can debate whether he should have been released and whether he deserves that job, but his wages in whatever job can’t be forever docked because he took a life. — Ed. Note
