Here's an interesting take from the other side of the pond about America's prison industrial complex.
Why are we not discussing this on our TV programs? I remember fifteen years ago Americans were furious that our Nikes were made with slave labor. But now because it's incarcerated Americans with drug habits that's OK? Some of those jobs sound pretty good too, assembling military equipment? Do we really have to cheap out on wage costs for that? We spend $700B a year on military and we're cutting corners by hiring inmates rather than providing working wage jobs? WTF?
