      Criminals in jail don’t do free work for capitalists in most countries.

          Approximately 4 to 75 cents per hour depending. Thats fucking slave labor. A single fucking sachet of ramen noodles requires between 9-12 hours of hard labor to purchase. I genuinely can’t tell if you’re being serious right now so I’ll avoid ripping into you directly and attack what you said instead. That’s the most asinine fucking bullshit I’ve had the displeasure of reading today and thats after reading about how Trump may start WWIII on Monday to protect his ego. “They’re paid in the US” is the second dumbest fucking statement a relatively educated person could make aside from “I voted republican” and deserves to be absolutely fucking roasted just as hard.

        Are you sure you linked the correct thing?

        Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime

        Prisoners are paid for their labor in the US. How does prison “rehabilitate” any individual?
