Prisons, Corporate America , Shopping and You

The United States condemned China for using prison labor to produce products for their economy. Well If you can't beat them join them. 37 states have authorized prison labor to produce products. All of the major companies like IBM, Microsoft, Target, HP are running to take advantage of this cheap labor source. We have retreated from the high ground and got in bed with the profiters on wall street. Correction Corporation of America and the Geo Group are 1) and 2) in the private prison industries. Wall street loves it as millions of dollars of profit is being made off the labor of prisoners. Why should you care as long as Target sells you the TV at the right price. You should care as Americans are being taken advantaged of. Do You Care?

Corporations don't have to pay health care for prisoners, as it is picked up by the taxpayer forced to flip hamburgers and live in poverty. The politicians are turning the United States into the little brother of China.

The question is - Is Human Dignity and Human Rights more important than selling a TV or a computer? Using people for profits is apart of this nations history. It is why the media is silent and there is no shame.

why dont these loser college kids occupy the jails and the courts

Why are people so incensed about this now. The idea of increasing profit margins by way of exploiting vulnerable people was in its inception years before now. Why didn't anybody stop it then? This Prison Industrial Complex will not so easily be removed mainly because it's prisoners we're dealing with here and surely they are an easy victim for the state to target!! Challenge this by legislation and see what happens!!

The problem with USA USA has Largest Number of prisoners on 100.000 people USA rules there and in bombing and killing civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan.

@aviomaster Maybe we could find out what communities or families inmates have harmed and have them work for them ie drug dealers/ but the confiscated monies buy bulletproof vests for cops etc.
