The prison complex doesn't want you to call it that, but yes. The 13th amendment makes a specific exception for slavery if the person is imprisoned. That's why prisoners "work" for way below minimum wage in a variety of jobs that they probably didn't choose. Not to mention that the majority of prisoners are people of color...
I was curious how many people in prison are forced to work. If this source is correct, it's about 2/3. But the conditions of that work are apparently worse than I'd thought. Here's the original report (posted last year) and an article with a summary. Correction is welcome if this is inaccurate ◉‿◉
Doesn't matter... Had sex? 🥹
Sorry, what?
Only if they force you to work.
I'm not at all excusing it, but don't prisoners technically get paid for their work? It's just some horrifically pathetic wage like $0.50/hr or something like that.
You are not wrong
Worker's rights, unions, and the choice to quit...
Well in the US it is I guess
what is the alternative
Not… slavery?
this is actually my plan (minus the sex 3 times a day of course) for later in my life, ideally without the going to prison part.
Your "plan" is to not live with your parents, read books, and workout? Feel free to get started, boss.
my plan ist to live a happy and healthy life. living with my parents and going to work hinders me from doing exactly that. i might have the opprtunity to not have to work, so i will gladly do that.
feel free to continue living your hateful life. but i won't. i want to change.
Hateful life? I was encouraging you to start living a happy and healthful life instead of calling it a "plan." Relax. That might help you on that whole "happy" part.
then i must have read it wrong, sorry. people are generally not taking someone else being optimistic very well, so i assumed you were attacking me for it.
No problem. I was basically just saying "hey you can do most of those things right now, go for it."
It's funny and all, but you have to work in a real prison. Just like you do in the office. The difference is that by the end of the day you leave the office and enjoy your hard earned money. But when you're working in prison, you are still in prison by the end of the day. And you don't get money, because fuck you, that's why.
