    That’s not how the prison industry works. There’s no money in fixing people if you can use them as unpaid labour.

        There are actually privately owned prisons, with investors, and profit incentives, and they’re a problem.

          And they literally do forced labor for corporations, who pay the prison for that, which is legal because slavery is still legal in prisons. It’s absolutely an industry.

            I know in the early 2000s both McDonalds and Applebee’s were known to have used prison labor to have their uniforms made.

      I write about what can be done before the bloodshed and the prison sentence. But yeah, the next logical step is to look into these fuckers too.
