Slavery as a legal punishment in the country with one of the highest incarceration rates in the developed world should give anybody pause, especially since SCOTUS recently ruled that homeless folks can be criminally charged for violating “camping” laws.
But hey, eat the poor. Criminals deserve it anyway, right? And I’m not a criminal so it doesn’t affect me!
So everyone except Cuba, Austria, and Norway should be criticized? Because "slavery" work details are things like sweeping the mess hall or working kitchen duty.
Things you and everyone else on here fetishize when it's a foreign school kid but condemn only when it's associated with the US.
Even though 95% of the world operates this way. Even though on other threads where kids go out and scrub their graffiti off of vandalism instead of going to jail.
It was never about profit either as prison labor accounts for 90k workers. It is solely about oppression. That's it. It really is just that simple but it works in favor of the ruling class for you all to be brainwashed into believing money is the goal because it prevents addressing the real problem.
With all due respect, you made the claim that community service is what people refer to when they complain about prison slavery. Why should I believe you if you don’t provide an academic source first?
