      Slave prison labor? If my tax dollars are paying for the part of society that get locked up better be working it off.

      IIRC Washington state has a system where prison labor can only be used to benefit the state, such as making license plates or making furniture for sale only to state institutions (like schools or govt offices).

      I feel like if you had to do hard labor a lot less people would want to risk going to prison. Rn it’s basically free room and board 🤷‍♂️

      Whole map should be red. One thing that absolutely terrifies criminals is the thought of having to WORK. That’s the ultimate deterrent.

      This is probably a lot more nuanced than emotions would make it seem. If the purpose of the justice system is to try to rehabilitate prisoners before they are to be released back into society, work programs do seem like a logical route to take to help achieve that goal. And given many business’s understandable hesitation in hiring active prisoners, I don’t think it is unreasonable to have prisoners work for less than minimum wage, or even for no wage in some instances. Assuming that this is a part of the rehabilitation process and the prisoners are still being treated as humans.

      Look, i don’t think the amendment was intentionally rigged by the north when it was written. but objectively speaking, when certain groups that historically have been used as a laboring underclass make up the majority of arrests in a region… it’s not unreasonable to see a problematic correlation.

      A lot of commenters in here don’t seem to recognize the perverse incentive to keep people in prison when you can use them as cheap labor. Homeless/ unhoused, or otherwise down on your luck? Here is a fine. Can’t pay the fine? it’s off to the chaingang with you, or in some states they loan you out to for profit businesses.

      The goal of prison isn’t just to punish people, it is supposed to be rehabilitation and reintegration. Failing to do that creates a revolving door that is very lucrative for the prison industrial complex. This isn’t rocket appliances.

      Man I’m so used to maps following election results that this is surprisingly nuanced

      Here is a fun fact if you commit a crime you go to jail. You get free housing, food, and everything else a person needs to survive for free off of tax dollars. Some people treat it as a blessing. Why shouldn’t there be prison work activities. It allows them to build skills they can use upon release and it makes the jails less reliant on tax dollars. Just a reminder to every person here jail is supposed to be a punishment for bad behavior.

      This should be banned nationally.  But because there is money involved, it won’t be.

      “Slave”??? ….be a few slaves rolling over in their graves about now. Only reason its FORBIDDEN in Alabama, is because it was that bad and the State got embarrassed.

    15. 1startreknerd on

      The US constitution allows it.

      So unless it’s banned by state it can be used.

      If you ever see a set of playing cards at a dollar tree from a Vegas casino they were sorted and packaged by Nevada prisoners.

      You should swap the colours and put a key on the image itself saying what each colour means

      Lol, Alabama does something better than California, that’s gotta burn.

    23. ToonMasterRace on

      forced prison labor is very common worldwide, idk why people freak out about the US having it so much.

    24. Michelle_akaYouBitch on

      Yes. But how is the prisoner going to otherwise make that 75 cents an hour?
