A sword with sharpened edges
Cuts both either way
Prisoners, released to work
Receiving way less pay
Corporation likes the benefits
Expenses going down
Profits raised by penalty
The logic is quite sound
Give to those incarcerated
A chance to learn a skill
The benefits will serve us all
Two needs are thus fulfilled
But what of existing workers
Whose hours do get cut
The soup keeps getting thinner
And creates an economic rut
