Hey, bro, you were the first to throw out the Nazi reference. You know what that usually means with internet “arguments.” I think you’d be hard-pressed to find folks around here agitating for more criminal laws to increase the supply of inmate labor. I’m personally not sold on “supplying” inmates for private-sector labor. If they are to be utilized, let it be for such activities as roadwork, highway beautification, et al. Work that the state is responsible for.
And that’s what they should be used for.
I had hoped that you’d see in the quote where the businessman was paying the state cut-rate prices for forced prison-labor, driving the locals out of work. And see how that will be the exact same situation once prison labor is used in Alabama.
Add onto that just how easy it is for a government to criminalize more people to meet the industry demand. (what’s more extreme that declaring an entire people illegal?)
