Our incarceration rate is evil but its purpose is not to provide cheap labor to the govt. That is not one of the top 5 reasons we are where we are. I recommend Marie Gottschalk’s book Caught for a more thorough analysis.

I hope not! And much is wrong with our prison labor system. But that’s not to say cheap labor is the primary purpose of our incarceration regime. Also: love your orange & white cat photo, looks like my guy!

just a byproduct, I think. it's not even cheap, if you consider the cost of actually running the prison (which you would if that was the primary purpose of incarceration)
