2. That's clearly so the corporations can have access to their prison labor.

What is it 35 or 50 cents per hour?

How in the FUCK is that legal in this country?

What's worse is very few even know this practice occurs. And of those that do, way too many don't care or even if they do feel impotent to do anything about it. Heaven forbid that they should use that information to wake up a few of the walkers in this nation.
