"But thanks to Reaganomics, prison turned to profits
'Cause free labor’s the cornerstone of US economics
'Cause slavery was abolished, unless you are in prison
You think I am bullshittin’, then read the 13th Amendment
Involuntary servitude and slavery it prohibits
That’s why they givin’ drug offenders time in double digits."
Killer Mike - Reagan
Fuck Ronald Regan
Is that what we’re calling slaves now? A hidden workforce?
They’re not slaves. They get paid
25¢ per hour! /s
There was a plan at one point to outsource drive through window speaker boxes to prison labor. Not sure whatever became of that.
And that’s if they’re lucky!
It’s the newest trend in Work From Home.
Introducing… Work From Cell!

The problem is the prisons are for profit.
Prisons get money from state for taking care of prisoners
Prisons put workers to work at slave wages.
State reps get kickbacks from Prisons to encourage more incarceration.
Police happily target black people and minorities and get them sent to prison
Prisoners work for slave wages
Rinse repeat.
If the Prisons were state run not for profit, this might work out better, but that’s often not the case.
