This kind of stuff is why I reject the notion that the west has truly abolished slavery. It has been abolished in name only. There is still wage slavery and sweat shops.
And also, there are implications in terms of market monopolization if only certain large corporations have access to the prison slave labor. It can create unfair, anti-competitive markets which harms people outside of the prison system.

The moral authority - indeed 'imperative' - that many use to justify the Wests' crimes around the world, simply dissolves in face of the fact that the USA is still very much a slaver state. The rest of the world sees this, Americans don't. That needs to change, for the positive.
- wolverine876 3y agoI agree that it's not truly abolished, but I strongly disagree with the implication, as I read it, that nothing has changed. Look at labor conditions 100 and 200 years ago; it's night and day. Much more to do. We can't rest here.
