The media doesn't want you to see that it's not a jail, it's slavery.

one of the tasks of the American left is to explain to retail and service workers that this is the future that America has planned for them

lol the math isn’t even right - 2:1 means a max of 3 years and three months for a ten year sentence which is also definitely not happening

Or maybe the math is right - so they sentence people to longer terms up front?
But hey - if someone is making a profit from this slave labor - then expect it to be scaled up. Way up.
Speaking of this - where is Erik Prince?

Well, at least his hubris and lack of empathy confirmed our fears are true. Slavery is what its about.

Proud young Incel glorifying unpaid slave work is a maga marching order.
Normalizing sweatshops again in ‘Murica. Profoundly disturbing. Who do they think is going to end up there? Their own people, the Reality TV crowd, dumped from sucking at the government teat.
Too rich.

Interesting that an American goes and pretends it's a new thing, when a whole lot of prisons in the US use the jailed to make industrial products (in fact they make a whole lot of defense products), while paying the workforce way under the normal rates.
Yay slavery.

Workers that can undercut local wages, can't ask for a raise, organize for collective bargaining rights; an industrialist's wet dream. Without ever getting to the point of how many possibly don't belong there in the first place. This pud is selling the benefits of a Jim Crow era chain gang.

How many are in that prison for being poor???

reprapryn.bsky.social
Considering how poor a lot of Salvadorans are, don't think that is as much the case. More that if anybody does anything to step out gets put in there.
In the US? Yeah I can imagine this current admin bringing back debt crimes.

I was referring back to the Jim Crow era when Black Americans were jailed and put on "work crews" if they didn't have a certain amount of money with them when accosted by "police".

reprapryn.bsky.social
Misunderstood, that's probably happening in the rural indigenous heavy parts and the line between government officers and raiders is very porous at best
Not sure if it's to the level of Jim Crow. The US set a high bar for just how blatant robbery with a badge can be

Same here in Arkansas already!
They do NOT pay the folks in ADOC for their work. Nothing.
Then everything at the commissary is $$$ so their friends and family send them money. Hell, it costs money to even get emails back and fourth with them.
And now they loosened child labor laws too!

It may be the only time in a couple centuries that Arkansas of all places is ahead of the curve.
And trust me, that’s a wicked bad sign to live under.

American companies like Coke, Mc Donald’s, Starbucks etc.. make a profit of about 2 billion dollars a year off of prison labor.

“I’m a young man with the most privilege a person can be born with on this earth explaining how enslaving others isn’t bad, it’s good business! And I’m speaking with wildly more confidence than I should possibly have for my age, experience, and lack of basic human empathy!”

US prisons outsource those state visitor hotlines for free travel guides to 'secure' prisoners. Other companies also use prison labor. Not new. Not unique to countries OUTSIDE of the US.

Since trump paid El Salvadore to take in people he deported (without due process) I guess this means he's sending jobs overseas.

when slavery was abolished in the states, there is a clause in there that says except in prisons.

Funny he keeps talking about taking time off their sentence when they’ve not even had a trial. Besides, they’re sent there for life, when you halve
, you still get

A state reliant on slave labour is not self-reliant; it’s a slave economy.

Hey you got prisoners in my work camp!
You made slaves of my prisoners!
It's two bad things in one!
(Both shrug. Big friendly laughter as they clink their slave produced goods together in a toast.)
