    The prison system wouldn't have to worry about being so "understaffed and overworked" if prisons weren't permitted to operate like for-profit businesses that couldn't survive without an extreme rate of incarceration.

    The 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution abolished slavery and involuntary servitude “except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted.” This exception has significantly impacted prison labor practices in the United States. While the amendment ostensibly ended slavery, it opened the door to the exploitation of incarcerated individuals, enabling a system of forced labor in prisons.

      ESPECIALLY after the passage of the Civil Rights Act...

      The problem arises for cases where the prisoner is falsely convicted, or wrongly convicted. Sometimes innocent people wind up in jail. And then you would have a problem, where the state government committed the crime of slavery. Government committing crimes. Not ideal.

      Captive Labor: Exploitation of Incarcerated Workers, an ACLU research report produced in collaboration with the Global Human Rights Clinic of the University of Chicago Law School, examines the use of prison labor throughout state and federal prisons in the U.S. Bringing together interviews and surveys of incarcerated workers, analysis of government data, desk research, and policy review, this comprehensive report documents the harsh conditions and unfair practices, highlighting how incarcerated workers’ labor helps maintain prisons and provides vital public services. The report also includes a focus on prison labor during the COVID-19 pandemic. The report calls for far-reaching reforms to ensure prison labor is truly voluntary and that incarcerated workers are paid fairly, properly trained, and able to gain transferable skills. These calls are accompanied by concrete recommendations for federal, state, and local stakeholders to improve these conditions and ensure that prison systems treat incarcerated workers with dignity and respect.

      let’s not forget these people are in jail. They’re lucky they’re not on a chain gang, which is how they used to do it. They also had debtors prison. Ohio had what is still called this day the workhouse.Back then people didn’t want to go to jail. They didn’t have all the frequent flyers that they’ve got today. I know from personal experience. a lot of these guys do shit to get locked up in the winter because they don’t wanna stay outside. That’s how Kushi our jails are.

      Sweden is much different . They have a concentration of more peaceful people . The globalists have been trying to screw that up with illegal immigration . They’re fixing it though. Also in the US if they taught slavery factually and about all slavery instead of cherry picking history that would help a lot . Also add to that who ran the slave trade and who ran and still runs the media to this day whose motive is to distract , misinform and subvert its host society where ever they have resided.

    History Professor here. Convict leasing is what rebuilt the US after the Civil War. Accused someone of a crime and thus you have your involuntary servitude (peonage). After the War the nation was destroyed chiefly, the South. It is not by mistake that this discourse is about Alabama because Bama was the leader in convict leasing of Black bodies. Convict leasing is what built the entire city of Birmingham. Kay Ivy knows this. Most White political figures do. Black people often times struggle with knowing this history (and that deliberate. It's not taught in schools). Every company from U.S. steel to your "lay company" had convict leasing in Alabama after the Civil War. The purpose for Black people has always been to be a menial laborer. It's in the historical documents.

No I think they should be forced to work in the fields and do things to pay for their crimes. To pay for the food they eat. It's not a free ride. So I for sure don't feel bad for them being put to work. It's insane that they think it's slavery. It's not. It's paying for your own way and then some for your criminal charges.

    All new and pre-existing prisons must be built or completely retrofitted with environmental sustainable materials.
    Secondly.
    Any and all water and power must be sourced from renewable resources only.
    Absolutely no exceptions.

      Take the maintenance of that system out of your salary at twice the costs leave my tax money alone . No work ,no eat ,no clothing prison is meant to be punishment not paid vacations.

    Simple, don't do the crime if you can't do the time. Basically, they want to sit on their azz and have everything done for them just like they did before going to prison. Why am I not surprised.

    You're on the right side of the issue but you're being explicitly racist about it, which makes you part of the problem, not the solution.

    work can make time go by faster, and provide a feeling of usefulness . if people are paid, the majority of the money goes to pay fines and restitution. and good way to avoid even having to fret about all that is to not go to prison in the first place.

    I've never gone to prison. I have always had to work hard. 2 full time jobs at one point. Never had insurance. I think if you could learn how to work and play well with others maybe your quality of life will go up when you're free. I think you did yourself an injustice by talking in this matter Sir. Your communication skills are poorly lacking.

    I feel it's generous to think you could force prisoners to do valuable work by any means, these are individuals who robbed and murdered people to avoid working in the first place.

    One problem with prison population it is generational grandfather, father, and brothers all incarcerated. Some extended families are completely lost. The lawyer speaking in video (Stanley v.Ivey) ideas are too radical. Inmates need to keep busy. Inmates learn work skills by having jobs. Part of the problem with the prison population is they did not want to work before they were convicted.

    They could avoid forced labor by not committing crimes.

      Ok but they should earn more money than what they are being given . We could fight illegal immigration if we paid our prison workers more.

    if you end up in prison, you should have to work every day minimum eight hours everybody. they should have to make all their own stuff do all their own food and they should have to make their clothes make their towels give everybody a damn job and they will stop going to prison. Most of them are there because they're too damn lazy to work.

      i’d like to add on as far as paying them they should up all expenses the expense of the state having to take care of them. Their medical needs their care feed them. They should have to pay every bit of that. They’re gonna end up with a bill when they leave if I was in charge, let me tell you.

    All the other information I've red and heard states that the prisoners enjoy working as a break from the prison routine, it may be a selected few who have filed the law suite.
