4. Prison labor is slavery

There is no way average workers can compete with this free labor. The government covers the prisoner's food and board. Tax payers pay for the prisoner's clothes and health care. The corporations need do nothing for these prisoners and get all the labor they want for free.

These corporations can out perform their competition because they get free labor. This is a slave economy competing with capitalism.

China does this too, that is why a lot of their products are so cheap.

Since we have already taken away a woman's right to bodily autonomy the next thing will be to force prisoners to give up their body parts if their organs are a match for a filthy-rich man on a donor's list. China and Russia do this too.

So much for capitalism. Are we now a slave economy?
