@paulrogers002 Justice is a concept which has proved quite elusive, in our own fair isle for me recently. No less elusive over the pond tho.

@C7RKY Worse; we don't have such recent history of slavery, which still distorts US society; gross confusion of race/class, justice for sale -
@paulrogers002 Depends on your definition of slavery, which could make it very topical for us all, but I agree otherwise. -
@C7RKY Chattel slavery: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Chattel+slavery I note even they include wage slavery as def.4; coerced prison labour also key US issue today -
@paulrogers002 V much so. Did you ever catch that episode of QI where they raised prison labour as a question? The panel's faces said it all -
@C7RKY I didn't, but indiscriminate, racist 'Jim Crow' laws key in America to substituting prison labour (chain gang) for chattel slavery. -
@paulrogers002 Sounds like you've done homework on that? The key for me was numbers. The sheer scale of industry workforce, just 'captured'. -
@C7RKY As ratio of population, US has most imprisoned in world; I think 1/4 Afro-Americans see jail in 'Land of the Free'. -
