We are beginning to emulate China, ..what’s next child labor ? /sarc

Unicor helps keep order in federal prisons which with ever increasing jail time mandatories is not easy
It also gives prisoners a little canteen money which is less cost for the state plus state earns from canteen...probably over one million per year in a big joint
And a little money prisoners can even send home for kids birthdays..quinces and bar mitzvahs
Caveat is it is indeed unfair competition with private sector
Cool...and when we need more laborers, we simply enforce one of the millions of “hidden” laws on those who are qualified for the particular position and “instant state slave labor”. Isn’t socialist tyranny a wonderful thing?!?
