Furniture giant IKEA has agreed to pay 6 million euros ($6.5 million) towards a government fund compensating victims of forced labor under Germany’s communist dictatorship, in a move campaigners hope will pressure other companies to follow.

    If you run over children with your car and have to fix potholes for 8 yeara, that’s ok in my books. Having to do that because you think women should be able to vote IS different.

    But that’s merely my opinion and fits my world view perfectly

    And it’s not about making money, it’s about having consiquenses. The prisoner working has a guard (at least where I live) whose pay is more than what the convict makes.

      Again. It should not be about punishment but about re-socializing.

      At least in theory.

        Part of resocialising is that you get to meet your demons daily. I’m from Finland and our system has one of the highest success rates in the world.

        You downvoting me makes it seem like you’d prefer to coddle someone that chose harm, and I find that apalling.

          I did, in fact, not downvote you.
