It's forced labor, they don't have a choice.
- edgyquant 3y agoYes they do, I’m not aware of any prisons in the US where you have to do the work it’s just it looks good to a parole board.

- nickthegreek 3y agoYou not being aware of it doesn't mean it doesnt exist. > Five states – Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi and Texas – force prisoners to work without pay. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/sep/27/slavery-loophole-unpaid-labor-in-prisons https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/sep/27/slavery-loop...
- egberts1 3y agoGotta love those ignorant commentators. Absence of evidence never equates with a fact that none exist. Hence science is never final, just the facts.
- mchannon 3y agoIn the federal system, inmates are offered “GCT”, Good Conduct Time, where they get released from 15% of the sticker price time of their bid. It’s subject to revocation. That makes for a powerful carrot. Refusal to work is one of the prohibited acts an inmate can do (called a “shot”) to get it taken away.
