Privatized prisons are essentially creating slave labor. Whether stamping license plates or working the phones for travel agents and other businesses, when we start building prisons in the hope of filling them up like California has, it becomes a fucked up situation. Between the three strikes law, the mandatory minimums combined with the drug war, ,profiteers are rampant.
What happens when these ppl are released and cant get a job because of their record? Generally they go back to crime and prison has given them the tools they need to become a better criminal and the connections to other criminals.
This whole situation is so frustrating. I could go on and on.
Chain gangs Pffffttttt!
