Ironic given how closely US prison labour resembles slavery.

No problem, they'll just start charging for room and board and take it out of your increased pay

The ACLU wants them to have OT and unions? Gtfo here. Worker safety sure job training sure. But allowing a prison population to organize? Ya like that wont cause its own issues.

Also its hilarious to me that anytime the US does a good thing someone starts bitching about something else.

Other countries are exploiting free labor and grossly inhumane conditions from free citizens.

At least we work on ourselves and critique ourselves.

No, it’s not. OP was talking about forced labour, which American prisons practice. What do you call it? In my country, forced labour falls under our slavery legislation.

  1. I’m not American. 2. My point was to illustrate USA’s double standards in relation to human rights. 3. I’m actually fine with it, thanks.
