Cheap labor is still valuable, I don't know what to tell you. 20k salary net is very cheap. I don't know why you think it's expensive, because it's not. What you're maybe missing is the job needs to be done regardless - it's not like if we stop using prisoners for labor that need for labor just - poof - disappears.
- brulard 1y agoDo you mean that the benefit of cheap labor goes to private companies, but the cost stays with the taxpayers? If so, I see the logic. If we are talking about imprisoning someone, because we get cheaper labor for example inside the prison, than that doesn't make sense. Of course I count that the job needs to be done. Scenario A (person not imprisoned): - Prison cost: $0 - Labor cost: $25k (hire someone) - Total cost: $25k Scenario B (person imprisoned): - Prison cost: $50k - Labor cost: $0 (prisoner does it) - Total cost: $50k
