Prisoners get no health care, substandard working conditions, pennies an
hour.... also look up Unicor and do some reading... here is what i found on
wage!
Unicor currently starts out at about $37.00 per month for 160-200 hours per
month.
That's 24 cents or less an hour sounds like a sweat shop wage to me.....
Slavery is legal and taking place in this country.... Most prisons are
privately owned and operated by corporations to make a profit. There are
more prisons then schools being built in this country. In today's America,
the prison/industrial complex has become the new plantation and the warden
has become the new overseer. This is Slavery!!!!
The 13th Amendment authorizes it, "Neither slavery nor involuntary
servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have
been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place
subject to their jurisdiction." The key word here is except!! and being
convicted of a crime "even a minor crime" in the United States is that
exception.
Prisons should be run by government not by private enterprise!!

Wrong Wrong Wrong.
Prisoners in US are paid for their labor. In some cases paid pretty damn
well considering they are in there because they broke the law and are
supposed to be "paying their debt to society." Also, in most cases USAian
prisoners are not forced to work but opt to to earn credit/money for use
in the prison store, reduce or pay-off any fine/restitution they were
sentenced to pay, and to earn extra "good behavior" time.
I won't even get into the difference in why people are in prison in the US
as opposed to why they are in involuntary servitude in China but the
difference is significant.
For you to equate US prison labor programs to those of China shows you no
nothing about China or US prisons, are a knee-jerk anti-US idiot or just a
plain idiot.
