[lbo-talk] new frontiers in prison labor and racism

[joyce brothers]

If illegals lower the wage, wouldn't prisoners lower
it even more?
 
And since for-profit companies are running the
prisons, well, where do 

you go wit dat?

Prisoners growing their own food.  Making there own
cloths, whatever.  

That seems right.  But prisoners making money for
people sitting in 

some office, not so right.  Too easy for some to want
to keep more

peps in prison. Or something like that.  Just too damn
close to slave 

labor and work camps for my taste,
