Well the article does mention that the prisoner "Marmalade" was not forced to do any of this.
In fact the article mentions that she could have spend her time in her cell, doing online courses or doing chores for the prison for little cash. The fact that wired managed to just book an interview with the prisoner also makes it quite risky for the company to subject the prisoners to any traumatizing material.
The only problem I really see with this is the fact that this doesn't really prepare the prisoners for live outside the prison in any way.
Forgive me for not trusting in the investigative journalism capabilities of fucking "wired". How much of a choice that person really had is not something u can judge from an outside perspective. If they made this the highest paying jobs then there is no real choice probably.
Maybe put less energy into deciding you're offended off the bat, and more energy actually reading articles
Who said im offended?
Your tone.
We can make fairly accurate assumptions on prisoners rights simply based on the fact that the prison is located in Finland. Here's article from Yle (one of the most trusted news organizations in Finland) describing finnish prisons.
