My point is that BOTH prisoners and benefits recipients need to be provided with necessities. But while prisoners are protected from being forced to work for their 'keep', the young lady at Poundland was told to work the prescribed hours or forfeit her benefits. I find this difference hard to justify. I draw the line, GUEST, between the criminality (by choice) of prisoners and the honesty of benefits claimants. The one group have put themselves into their custodial predicament, the others are blameless for being unable to find work.
