Seems like a natural extension of using prison laborers to farm the cattle for their hamburgers.

We got to bump up those numbers till it’s just the C-suite and investors that aren’t prisoners in this chain

This isn’t news, the Hamburgler has been doing work-release there for over 30 years.

Ah yes, more of that voluntary nature of capitalism they like to crow about.

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.

Every capitalist’s dream labor is the one you could get in a German labor camp during WWII: an endless supply of people that can be worked to death.
