#1 Besides, the prison digs are better then sleeping in the ditches and stealing mangoes in the morning. That gets old real fast.

That's what my father-in-law (rest his soul) discovered when he hired private detectives to see why Indonesians worked less when he paid more money. It seems that the workers would just sleep along the road and steal the food they needed from trees... Even with his wages they couldn't afford movies or pinball or recreation in the Rich/Poor society of Indonesia.... so he cut their wages to 1/10th of what they were and built a huge rec and movie center were every thing required a company token. You got so many tokens every hour worked. His workers quickly went from 2 days work a week to 60 hour weeks...)

#2 The other great thing about Indonesian workers is that it is easy to get rid of garbage, junk, salvage, etc. What you do is put it all outside at night and put a small snow-fence around it. Next day it is gone. If you didn't enclose it - it would still be there the next day.
