Paper Ingots Force  2013.01.02 Fountain Pen Drawing Prisoners busily assemble paper ingots and packaging. Prison regulations mean that all inmates must partake in jobs such as these. Do these activities have a positive impact on prisoners’ lives, and provide them with the skills to move away from crime after prison? Do they, as a result of their monotonous nature, scare inmates away from reoffending? Are they merely a way to avoid the boredom that comes with prison life? Or are they a way of keeping prisoners busy, and preventing their minds from wandering?  眼前的收容人正忙著製做紙元寶和包裝，照法律規定受刑人是作業的，這些沒技術性的小手工是否真如同刑事政策所預期的可以令他們養成勤勞的習慣好遠離犯罪？還是因為它單調得夠可怕好用來懲罰他們所犯的罪行？還是也不過就是用來排遣坐牢時的無聊又難以打發時間？亦或是找些事情給他們忙只為不讓他們胡思亂想？
