You may want to look "research" again there are a handfull of private
prisons that require an inmate to be an Organ Donor. Not legal in state/federal run facilities only prtivate in a select few states that allow it. Go google it.... Also look here!!! wonder how much the prison/industrial complex would gain.... http://www.wltx.com/news/story.aspx?storyid=47680 We also don't use our prisons as spare parts farms for organ transplants. |

Advert's like this!!!
"Are you experiencing high employee turnover? Worried about the costs of employee benefits? Unhappy with out-of-state or offshore suppliers? Getting hit by overseas competition? Having trouble motivating your workforce? Thinking about expansion space? Then Washington State Department of Corrections Private Sector Partnerships is for you." http://www.washingtonci.com/_content..._overview.aspx 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!! "Gig601XLBuilder" wrote in message ... NW_Pilot wrote: We use slave labor in prisons also......Not just china.... 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. |

Slavery is legal in US prisons and it is in the 13th amendment BUT that doesn't mean it is being used. If you would actually read the website you posted you will see that the prisoners are paid and even how their earnings are allocated under the Washington state program. I love your comment about now health care for prisoners though. They get that even if they DON'T work. Along with food, shelter and clothing. |

![]() "NW_Pilot" wrote Prisons should be run by government not by private enterprise!! What does it matter where they are put, if they were not convicted by private enterprise. Prisoners have it way too easy, as it is. Punishment for crime is losing the freedom that other citizens have. That is the way it is supposed to work. If you were in jail, would you rather sit in your cell, bored out of your skull, or do something like work, even for free, even if you had to pay to work? I know my answer would be to work. The day passes much more quickly when you are occupied. Sorry, but you are way off base on this one. Prisoners in the US are there for good reason, and most all are multiple offenders, or else major felony offenders. That is not the case in China. Far, far from it. -- Jim in NC |

Gig601XLBuilder,
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. Except when you count Gitmo. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |
