    Is this also a consequence of allowing prisons to be privately owned?

    I could totally understand a government owned prison, using prison labor for federal departments such as maintenance and landscaping etc.

    As awful as this is, private prisons abusing loopholes as a way to make evem more profits, its hardly surprising

        No, no, this is the system working as intended.

        Every capitalists dream labor force is an unpaid one.

          Every capitalist’s dream labor is the one you could get in a German labor camp during WWII: an endless supply of people that can be worked to death.
