Yeah wage-surpressed prison labor is fucked, but people dont realize it's actually pretty rare. Our economy had been demand-constrained, not supply-constrained, for decades, and peole are beaten into submission not by forced/excessive work, but by telling them they don't or barely deserve to work. (Let your own fears make you work hard, not the whip.) Prison is no exception. https://johnjayeconomics.org/prison-labor-in-u-s-state-prisons-1974-2016-new-slavery-or-enforced-idleness/ https://johnjayeconomics.org/prison-labor-in-u-s-state-priso...
