Although if we're talking about the US even more so than any country on earth, the police and judicial system were precisely designed to keep slaves in check. So it's absolutely mad but absolutely aligned with stated/designed goals (see also the documentary about the 13th amendment *not* abolishing slavery).

- southerntofu 5y agoYes, this one. It explains perfectly why feel-good reforms aren't necessarily all good, and why even countries with strong social/workers protection like France have literally no working regulation in prisons. Around here you're "happy" if you can make 1€/h in prison (where everything is more expensive than one the outside), and any work-related accident will not be covered as "accident du travail" because human rights don't apply in prisons.
