Reminder that the US have never abolished slavery for prisoners and have one of the largest slave population in the world.

Yep... And every time there's an employment issue for the agricultural industry, they whip out the prisoners...

However to the prisoner's credit: They do an absolutely terrible job at whatever it is they're doing.

Why? What are they going to do... Fire you? Jail you? You have no incentive at all to do the job well as a prisoner.

Bonus is by doing a horrific job it makes employers less likely to actually request prison workforces.

well the prison can not pay you and then you dont have the money for soap or tampon and get sick and literally in some cases die
