RE: REPOST: Stop sending our jobs over seas... OKAY WE'LL STOP... How about the Prison Industrial Complex? [Original Post: August 18th, 2016]
Its good that there are so many rules and crazy laws. This blog brings a new light on the topic and give input for overthinking. My first comment is; when the labour in prison is available, we should sure use that labour. All will be better from that, just because of the fact that it "kills" ;-) time for the inmates and the items are produced at low cost. So a win win situation.
Enough crazy laws and there won't be jobs for people outside of prisons. Some inmates actually try to get thrown back into prison after being out of it for awhile. Structured, Regular Meals, Health Care, Shelter, and work.
They even drive trucks delivering the products. Many of them are not even technically in prison while they are working.
The system is wrong, a prison is a prison, and people actually should not would like to spent their days locked up,.. There is too much Freedom, and they feel at home, everything is arranged. Cant be the goal from a prison.....
I have met some of these young men(one as young 21 yrs old) who plan to spend most of their life in prison. Mostly because they've been in the system since they were young and its the only place they had any structure or discipline. I thought it was such a shame that that was all they could imagine for their lives.
Yes, prison tends to fail as a deterrent after people spend much time there.
Among the criminal social milieu it can even be a reward of increased status.
