Wow, it’s like if they were being punished by some crime... Like if they were in jail!
Florida prisoners are protesting what they describe as the "current slave arrangement": 32 cents per hour wages, inflated costs for basic items like soup, for which they are charged $17 a case. #OperationPUSHhttps://injusticetoday.com/florida-prisoners-are-on-strike-to-protest-price-gouging-and-their-current-slave-arrangement-e14bcaabf45 …

They were sentenced to imprisonment, not hard labor. The punishment is time spent away from the world, not suffering at every turn. We don't want gulags in the USA.

Nico, the “hard work” we are talking is doing laundry, not the weightlifting on their free time.

I won’t shed not one tear over them. They’re in jail..lucky they get paid anything at all. If you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime!

RJ!!! We know enough to know that many of those people were incarcerated under an unjust system. Many of those people were arrested wrongly because of their skin color. Many of those people received sentences that were too large for their crimes. They still have human rights!
-
I was wrong to lump all of them together..I should have been clearer. You should know how I feel about minorities and the justice system...there is no justice!
-
I know. I know you. The whole things needs so much reform. From top to bottom.
-
I swear they need to tear the whole thing down and start over again! From the Supreme Court on down. It’s too easy to railroad innocent people..they system is too easily corruptable..if that’s a word lol

These responses are what’s wrong with this world!!! I agree with do the crime, do your time 100% ABSOLUTELY!!! But not free labor. It’s called slavery. Even tho they are in the prison system they’re still human beings not animals!!!

I suspect this is what the LNP would like to see in Australia no unions or no reasonable wage increase.

Legalized (black) slavery. Nobody’s picking cotton anymore so capitalists provide drugs, weapons and perpetuate poverty and oppression for blacks. Imprisonment is their new source of income since slavery was abolished.

Difference between those in prison and those not is the conviction. With over 5k Federal laws and over 4k carrying criminal penalties. 300k Federal regulations carry criminal penalties and lost of culpable mental state. We're all criminal and one day maybe your turn?
