We examined the injustices of prison labor nationwide — and lay the foundation for a more equitable path forward.

Any Country that mandates that Prisoners work for little or no pay while incarcerated is supporting institutionalized Slavery.

I’m putting the ACLU argument forward as the Pro position as it is very well written and touches on all the points that I would simply be restating.

Have fun!

    Slave labor isn’t compatible with a free society

      Must have scared the hardline right folks off here already. This topic is usually guaranteed to bring them out.

        A shame, I would like someone to argue that slavery is a necessary evil.

          Realistically it seems to be (not my opinion but my observation):

          • Shoes and clothes made in Bangladesh
          • Car parts (filters, hoses, tin parts) made in India
          • Foxconn China
          • Rare earth mining
          • Servants and immigrant workers in Qatar and Dubai.

          Just to name a few examples of slave labour required to run the world “as is.”
