Is this also a consequence of allowing prisons to be privately owned?
I could totally understand a government owned prison, using prison labor for federal departments such as maintenance and landscaping etc.
As awful as this is, private prisons abusing loopholes as a way to make evem more profits, its hardly surprising
Privately owned prisons are a small fraction of prisons. This is just a broken system.
No, no, this is the system working as intended.
Every capitalists dream labor force is an unpaid one.
