I agree that it just does not seem right that a person working from an open prison goes "home" at the end of the day to live free of charge without having to pay for board and lodgings.

There is also the scenario were a convicted criminal may get a suspended or deferred prison sentence... in thoery they have recieved a prison sentence..would anyone say they should not get the minimum wage while still working?
This topic is not as clear cut as to simply say a percentage of wages earned should be taken... seems it would take a great deal of looking into the legal aspects, and were any deductions made, to whom or were the money taken would go.
