Prison labor is essentially legalized slavery so there is incentive to keep poor people incarcerated. There's a reason why the US is the most incarcerated nation in the world.

    i think the situation wouldn't be as bad if there weren't also for-profit prisons that have an additional incentive to exploit people who are incarcerated. all prisons should be nonprofit. (what a weird thing to say out loud)
