I worked in a Federal prison for almost a year as a pharmacy Technician assistant to the nursing department. The institution could be WAY better in health care of the inmates for sure. I also agree that the inmates should make minimum wage (they are already paying for their crime) because they will need money when they are released. They also have a commissary in each yard if they need sundries. Other than that, I have observed that they are treated fairly well.
Not all criminals are criminals due to their own choices. That is why they hand-picked the criminal in this video. He tried to kill his attacker and killed someone else. There are also plenty that were set up by people in positions of power. They are also people, which is why alcatraz was closed and why people are so upset at how the j6 political prisoners are being treated. No, prisoners should not get paid, they are performing actions to pay back society.
Prisoners don’t have the same rights as free citizens. I served eight years and I know that prisoners do not deserve the same rights because of their actions.
I agree to a degree...but every person in prison is NOT a criminal,but implied they BROKE the law & there are plenty of innocent people in prison.The time, and restitution you pay is the consequences of your crime,it doesn't mean you are not human or deserve certain rights. And honestly 🤔the guards were the bigger criminals, selling drugs , weapons and contraband to the inmates 🤔...
Someone needs to tell this lady that criminals gave up their rights the instant they committed their crimes against the public. That's why they are removed from the public.
@@drivebyquipper Don't you realize that it is our society's fault that people choose to commit crimes. No matter how heinous the crime, prisoners deserve the full benefits due to law abiding citizens. That is how this bimbo see the world and it is fugazi.
Is that lady for real. There a reason there in prison. Tax payers pay for there room and board. How about hard labor. There wanting it to be a a vacation.. This is a waste of time and money on this subject. Good grief
Years ago ppl like this lady were called “bleeding hearts”. But then they started the ACLU, same difference. I didn’t hear, but most likely that’s where this woman was from. I’d bet on it.
They should be paid to pay their victims and the ones who will never enjoy what they profoundly think they have a right to enjoy in jail. I bet if she were a victim, she'd have a whole different opinion.
Wrong, Kennedy thinks that prisoners should work for free. What does free labor in prison incentives? For-profit prisons keeping their prisons full duhhh
THANK GOD THAT WE HAVE SENATOR KENNEDY, IT IS JUST A SHAME THAT OUT OF ALL OF THE HUMANITY TO CHOSE FROM, WE HAVE ONLY ONE SANE, SENSIBLE, MR. KENNEDY. THANK SIR, FOR EVERY WORD THAT YOU SPEAK.
If anything, hard work in prison should equal points at the commissary for chips, soda...etc. However they should NOT let other prisoners see them getting snacks they earned, or they will be relieved of them rudely and immediately!
I hope Kenedy is able to be healthy and able to do this job for a long time. Something I can't say about most of his fellows. He is a true servant of the nation and the people he represents.
I thought prisons teaching a skill is worth the free labor. Thanks, Senator Kennedy, for what you do and for who you are representing us folks. It's great to have common sense in gov, which is a dying trait in gov.
We the taxpayers are paying for them in prison to have food,shelter, medical. TV air conditioners shower etc. If they want pay it should go to the taxpayers and their victims!!!
Let me pause and say that I appreciate the way Mr. Winn answered the Senator's questions. He was direct and to the point, on topic, and informing the Senator that he legally could not do that. I also appreciate Senator Kennedy accepting that answer and allowing himself to be informed.
All these people are in La La Land and the prison system will break down over time and it's sad. Thanks Senator Kennedy for trying your best with these people but unfortunately they don't get it.
I think they should be paid. And the State should charge them for room and board, clothing, laundry, medical care etc. It would be a nightmare for book keeping but fair.
If prisoners were to get paid for what they do in prison, shouldn’t that money be going to their victims for restitution? Why should they profit from their incarceration? They’re already living on taxpayers dime.
We are dealing with the criminals not the victims. Why would they expect the incarcerated to be like free citizens who keep the laws? Prison is a punishment and should take away freedoms from those who have harmed the innocent. Thank you for the post.
You are the most amazing person in the government! I would love to see you as president I don't know why you haven't been president yet! You are when the most passionate government official I have ever seen! I truly believe you do care about America 💯💗!
If you do the crime you will work unless they are truly sick!! However if they are paid they should pay their own way . Pay for rent health care shelter ect.
Senator, I believe you know better than most and much better than me that talking to these ..... DEI robots is like trying to talk an alligator out of putting nasty things in their mouth; but I appreciate your effort. For God only knows the mess we would be in if there was no "buffer zone" around these idiots. Thank you.
Thank you Senator John Kennedy! You have common sense as well as being intelligent & articulate. I don't understand how these women come up with the point of view that they have. I also don't know why the man who killed Mr. Owens is not in prison now, even if Mr. Owens was killed (in his own words) as an innocent bystander.
My uncle is in Prison in Washington State. He makes $.68 an hour!! 😂😂😂 But he deserves to be there. But what the congressman is forgetting is that it's the family on the outside who ends up paying the bill. My grandma sent money every month until she passed. Now he calls and guilt trips who ever he can sucker into sending him money!! The only thing I did was send the book " How to survive a prison sentence for dummies"!! He was not happy!!!😂😂
I have had a close loved one in jail, and he was overjoyed to work in the kitchen earning 25 cents an hour. Instead of talking about minimum wage and 401ks, maybe create more opportunities to give back to the communities. Some prisons train service dogs. Our state penitentiary had an apolstery program, and the inmates recovered all the furniture in the governmental offices. I feel there are many ways to become useful and feel that one is helping society instead of destroying it.
Money goes to victoms are homless. If they should be going to get out. The rest can go for saving to futher tthere needs. This guy should be to Mr Owens family. I Love You Senator Jesus Peace Out and Love MMLZZZ
pay them $500/week for labor and then charge them $1000/week room and board. Case solved!
😅👍
Now this is a plan.
Yeah like when you're not in prison!
Yes that's sounds about right...
@@dwray729exactly 😂
Prisoners get room, board & medical!! F this women!!
How do you know what Prisoners get Or what they Have to pay for Have you ever even visited a prison
@@dennisboisvert3143 do they live there, do they eat there, do they get medical when they need it? Yes, yes, yes

Totally agree! (From CT)
If you want rights don't become criminals ,

And why should American taxpayers pay people who've committed crimes against society?

She’s too dumb for words. She’s literally IGNORING the FACTS that the “WORKPLACE” is and can be “Dangerous” for ALLL workers
100%
Thank you Senator Kennedy for saying they are in prison for a reason. It is not a vaction resort!
Criminals are getting free housing, food, electric, health care, access to tv we owe these criminals NOTHING MORE!
Not to mention training programs, psychological help spiritual help.
Food for Thought!! I thought the law was clear. If you are incarcerated you have no rights. Food for Thought!!
You should read the Constitution again. They do have rights.
This Woman Is NUTS!! FIRE HER IMMEDIATELY!!
I agree, she’s a stupid cow
She’s a liberal !
ACLU are left wing commies.
😂 that was my exact thought and I'm only a few seconds into watching

There a reason there in prison. Tax payers pay for there room and board. How about hard labor. There wanting it to be a a vacation.. This is a waste of time and money on this subject. Good grief
What a draconian view! They should have Doordash and call girls. 🤪
Years ago ppl like this lady were called “bleeding hearts”. But then they started the ACLU, same difference. I didn’t hear, but most likely that’s where this woman was from. I’d bet on it.
give them a maccas and a starbucks, wtf
Some people are so good at spending taxpayer's money that they have us 35 trillion in debt. and they're just getting warmed up.
Yeah our government does that real well. Free housing for the Illegals. Cash for them, but wont help the homeless, amazing
Funded by you and me! SMH
More like 100 Trillion
Most of these people who talk LALA Land , have no Sense!
Yup
They should be paid to pay their victims and the ones who will never enjoy what they profoundly think they have a right to enjoy in jail. I bet if she were a victim, she'd have a whole different opinion.
Kennedy asks all the right questions
... and then what? All bark and no bite.
Always
Wrong, Kennedy thinks that prisoners should work for free. What does free labor in prison incentives? For-profit prisons keeping their prisons full duhhh
I don’t know about no father
THANK GOD THAT WE HAVE SENATOR KENNEDY, IT IS JUST A SHAME THAT OUT OF ALL OF THE HUMANITY TO CHOSE FROM, WE HAVE ONLY ONE SANE, SENSIBLE, MR. KENNEDY. THANK SIR, FOR EVERY WORD THAT YOU SPEAK.
Senator Kennedy, thank you for the video. Finally, someone with spine and principles would say it.
Love Kennedy! Points out what we all question
Always amazes me that during Sen. Kennedy' Questions...I'VE NEVER heard two words...
YES or NO
Heck no they should not get paid. She is full of crap.
If anything, hard work in prison should equal points at the commissary for chips, soda...etc. However they should NOT let other prisoners see them getting snacks they earned, or they will be relieved of them rudely and immediately!
Is she insane
Prisoners should have NO rights...if you commit a crime, there is a consequence!!!
Senator Kennedy is sharp.
Excellent SENATOR. We appreciate your wisdom and courage as you speak the truth.
They are not workers, they are prisoners, therefore, they are paying the price. No reimbursements in jail, lady.
Thank you Senator Kennedy.
This is sooo stupid! Prisoners are in for a reason and have LOST ALL PRIVILEGES!!
I am fascinated by the open mouthed bull frog behind her
The happy idiot?
He looks like Sloth from the Goonies
Ya he's a mouth breathing sycophant.
😂
could not take my eyes off him!
Senator John Kennedy, ThanQ for figthing for your country and World PEACE🙏TRUMP 2024 💖🇺🇸
So she is saying I have to go to jail to get a Federal paying job with all the benefits.
The prisoners pay should go towards their fines
Most don't have fines; they are doing time to pay off their debt to society.
Any pay they get would come from us, the taxpayers. So we would be paying the victims and for the criminal's room, board, and medical?
@@drivebyquipper they don’t deserve pay. They owe pay
I hope Kenedy is able to be healthy and able to do this job for a long time. Something I can't say about most of his fellows. He is a true servant of the nation and the people he represents.
God Bless Senator Kennedy 💗🙏
She is correct that prisoners doing labor should be paid at minimum wage.
Then they should pay for their housing and food.
👍
Bingo
I would love to see how these idiots would feel if someone they love was murdered and was not held accountable.
Senator Kennedy, Stupid is STUPID!! And you can’t fix STUPID!! This is exactly what is wrong and prevailing in the USA for sometime now. 💕🙏🙏
Kennedy is helping to expose STUPID and we need that.
God dam shame
Sen. Kennedy is so right!...
No place for forced labor…….what about paying back the people you hurt
If there ever was compensation, every single penny should go to the families hurt, and if ever paid off, for room and board, at the prison.
This women is insane. Prisoners can pay the tax payer back for there incarceration. This black man should be in jail for life
I thought prisons teaching a skill is worth the free labor.
Thanks, Senator Kennedy, for what you do and for who you are representing us folks. It's great to have common sense in gov, which is a dying trait in gov.
This may be controversial, but the first lady shows why they should have no place in leadership. Compassion can quickly become insanity.
Senator Kennedy is an American treasure 🎉
We the taxpayers are paying for them in prison to have food,shelter, medical. TV air conditioners shower etc. If they want pay it should go to the taxpayers and their victims!!!
So far you have been very fair and logical. You have my respect and admiration. Thank you for your service! Woody
I Love Mr. Kennedy!!!!!! We need a Mr. Kennedy in Illinois!!
And Pennsylvania and Ohio and New York and ......
If they should get paid, they should pay taxes and room and board
Let me pause and say that I appreciate the way Mr. Winn answered the Senator's questions. He was direct and to the point, on topic, and informing the Senator that he legally could not do that. I also appreciate Senator Kennedy accepting that answer and allowing himself to be informed.

I dont think gave tge brans to get it
It's prison holy shite.
Thank You Senator Kennedy 🇺🇸
My God! What rock did she crawl from under!
Most have DONKEYS SENSE!
I think they should be paid. And the State should charge them for room and board, clothing, laundry, medical care etc. It would be a nightmare for book keeping but fair.
Kennedy is always effective and entertaining at the same time.
THAT is the very first time that I have seen someone get the better of Sen. Kennedy.!
Thank you Senator Kennedy 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Prisons are for punishment for crimes committed.😢
Thank you Senator Kennedy❣️❣️‼️
Senator Kennedy is such a wise man full of knowledge.
If they are paid they should pay room, board, medical, clothing, everything.
Unionized
Where do these people come from? And who in the world put them in a position of power?
Do not regard these people they are without understanding.
They are in jail they are being punished.
This Women is Nuts
Yup a dumacrate
Why should prisoners be paid at all…they are in prison not at a real job
They should be paid in possible privileges -aybe desserts, extra time in the yard, library visit etc.
Prison labor should be mandatory.
My assessment of this conversation is that Ms Turner should be FIRED !!! #FJT
If prisoners were to get paid for what they do in prison, shouldn’t that money be going to their victims for restitution? Why should they profit from their incarceration? They’re already living on taxpayers dime.
Ya it shiukd

So not sorry if a murderer gets a boo boo in prison.
I always Laugh when people try to give a speech when answering Kennedy's questions, instead of saying a simple Yes or No.
It seems like you would get more benefits being in jail. Free room and board, jobs 401 k. Shameful
Hey let them get paid. But then charge them for Food, Rent, Utilities. All the things Non Criminal working folks do. That seems fair to me.
You are the most amazing person in the government! I would love to see you as president I don't know why you haven't been president yet! You are when the most passionate government official I have ever seen! I truly believe you do care about America 💯💗!
Omg it never ends
If you do the crime you will work unless they are truly sick!! However if they are paid they should pay their own way . Pay for rent health care shelter ect.
Well spoken ! I say let them work and earn money but the money should go to the parent or wife or love one . Not to the prisoners
They already get full care for as long as they are in the prison under states care.
Oh please- Sen. Kennedy- never retire- common sense has left this country.
Hard to figure out who is the bigger fool the witness or the fool nodding in agreement behind her
You noticed that too. Lol.
I also noticed /did you the "eye roll" from the clown that is Senator Booker
These prisoners have a DEBT TO SOCIETY! They get taxpayer meals, living quarters, and healthcare! I support NO MORE than a dollar per hour! 💯
Pay them minimum wage, then charge them room and board
Has anyone ever been held accountable for anything?
Senator, I believe you know better than most and much better than me that talking to these ..... DEI robots is like trying to talk an alligator out of putting nasty things in their mouth; but I appreciate your effort. For God only knows the mess we would be in if there was no "buffer zone" around these idiots. Thank you.
They already have workmans comp, they have free healthcare.
That's a great idea. Then they can pay rent for their cell. They can also pay for medical
They can pay restitution to victims! After they pay for their room and board and medical!
Hell! I'm a disabled Vet and I get SUBSTANDARD CARE. I'm Not a criminal.
When crime actually effects her, she will play the victim 🤕
What BS
hell no
free food and housing too?
why go to prison, what is the point if you have all the comforts of home, these idiots are absolutely blind to the circumstances, IMO
The money should go to there victims
In most cases it’s part of their release.
Anyone else notice Mr. Jolly in the back, Bet he is a liberal dem too.
I would vote for this guy over and over and over again
Thank you Senator John Kennedy!
You have common sense as well as being intelligent & articulate.

Minimum wage with no bills? Awesome, where do I sign up? LOL
OMG! I was paid $0.60 a day for 2 years while incarcerated. Should I be paid back pay ?
SHE IS INSANE!!!!! 👿🔥👿 and that guy is not sorry about killing that young man he’s only concerned about himself 🤮🤢🤮
Prisoners are repaying their debt to society and their victims, food, medical and board is their payment.

What about the crime they done.
8:31. Are we talking about paying prisoners or prison personnel keeping a safe working environment?
