Slavery is illegal in every country, but some have allowed slave-like conditions in certain situations.

In China, slavery in prisons is still alive and thriving, to provide cheap goods for major companies and corporations.

Al Jazeera's Rageh Omar reports.

  • So that they work in order to allow them to have the skills to survive ,In order to avoid criminal acts continue to occur in order to make a living after his release

    让他们工作是为了让他们拥有生存的技能,以免出狱后为了谋生继续­发生犯罪行为

  • The. Eating part is bad but the working to make goods its a genious idea if usa teach their inmates to do some honest job it will cost less to maintain those persons with tax payers money doing nothing

  • Dont do the crime, if you cant do the time.

  • @ervinc6

    since forever.

  • to be honest

    i feel that's the way criminals are supposed to be treated

  • Funny the US has exactly the same system!

  • @KoolJayJ I'm a westerner, and I actually care about the human rights of Tibetans and Chinese.

  • @source1zero Aah. Of course. I always knew that drug dealer down the street was really a CIA agent.

  • This exact same thing is going on right now in the USA under corporate-owned prisons. They import drugs into the country and heavily penalize anyone caught with them. They are then sent to prisons to work for a pittance while the corporation who owns the prison picks up the profits. Anyone refusing to work is locked in solitary. This is the reality of the prison-industrial complex. Wake up..

  • The hatred is mostly coming from westerners. These self righteous whiteys may cite human rights issues, Tibetan issues, Chinese environment issues etc etc as the reason but deep in their hearts there is only one reason which is JEALOUSY. I do not believe that these people actually care about tibetans or the Chinese people in terms of their human rights.

    China is not perfect but neither is USA or any other country in the world.
