The value they create doesn’t reduce the public fund contributions.
- colinmhayes 4y agoof course it does. The prison companies would charge more if they didn't have the prison labor.
- yywwbbn 4y agoI’m not sure if this specific market is really that free, more likely they’d continue charging as much as they can get away with. Also relatively few prisons are private.
- colinmhayes 4y agoAt public prison it's even more clear that using prisoners as slaves saves the state money.
- mirntyfirty 4y agoIf this is clear....where is the evidence?
- colinmhayes 4y agoPaying people for their work tautologically costs more than not paying them. YOu need evidence for that?
- yywwbbn 4y agoThe money saved can be wasted or used to build new prisons since there might not be much pressure (political or market) to put it back into the state budget. You know what would be the best way to save money? Cut the prison population in half..
