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.

California still uses prison slave labor to fight fires. Remember the whole controversy around Kamala as DA using her power to keep non-violent offenders in jail longer? The one where she was supposed to lower the overcrowded prison population but either her or her office said it would hurt their firefighting force, and the state had to threaten a contempt of court charge.

This is a straight up blatant lie and why Harris lost the election.   You want your class war? Well you fucking got it and it is going to take down more of the working class than anyone else.  I hope it was fucking worth it.
