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

[Wojtek Sokolowski]

CB: Are you sure that most criminals have not been exposed to same before
going to prison ? Most criminals are from the working class or middle strata
and have done some work in their day, no ?

[WS:] I would like to see some reliable figures supporting this.  What I see
in Baltimore is certainly a very different picture - those who end up in
jail seldom if ever work and live mainly by preying on- or sponging off
those who do.
