    The article gives a really nice perspective on how morally questionable this is.

    The company gets cheap, Finnish-speaking workers, while the prison system can offer inmates employment that, [the company] says, prepares them for the digital world of work after their release.

    Yeah sure, doing more data labelling? I highly doubt data labelling gives anyone any skill besides date labelling. Luckily this article doesn’t just accept the statement of the company, but questions it very critically.

      Hey, that’s not fair. What if there’s a boom in companies that need to know if it’s a hot dog or not in the next 10 years?

      It’s a bullshit sales speech but it doesn’t sound morally questionable to me. It’s little pay and mindnumbing work for sure, but also you volunteer for it so, eh, seems fine
