It insults farming, calling it a dead industry, and ignores rehabilitation and job skills used in other sectors.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1846963\" data-originallang=\"en\">Will the minister do the right thing? Will he visit the farms, look at how these farms transform these men's lives and save our prison farms?</p>",

Il insulte l'industrie agricole, la qualifiant d'industrie morte, et fait fi des possibilit\u00e9s de r\u00e9adaptation et de l'acquisition de comp\u00e9tences transf\u00e9rables dans d'autres secteurs. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1846963\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le ministre va-t-il poser le geste appropri\u00e9? Va-t-il visiter les fermes, y constater en quoi elles transforment la vie de ces hommes et sauver nos prisons agricoles?</p>"
