Similar concerns over the financial impact of prison labor led California's Democratic-led Legislature to reject an amendment eliminating indentured servitude as a possible punishment for crime after Gov. Gavin Newsoms administration predicted it could require the state to pay billions of dollars at minimum wage to prison inmates.

Unsurprising, considering Kamala Harris's office literally opposed early release because it would interfere with the prison labor population.

I won't lie this title made me think it was some maga states trying to introduce slavery, but it's about prison labor.

Because your worldview is fucking delusional. Most people would automatically guess the right thing.

I think private prisons are unconstitutional. The big issue I have is the fact that the private prisons bribe politicians to make laws that bring more people into their unconstitutional prisons unjustly. And I don't think any of these efforts will do anything to address that.

Oh good lord... this isn't even a private prison problem. The biggest resistors are the STATE-run prisons.

Prison slavery isn't a loophole, it's the intent... ban slavery

This. While the theory may have been that inmates would give back to society, the practice has been society exploiting inmates.

Private prisons should never have existed. They should be banned

It's kind bizarre that people keep fixating on this as a talking point when it has almost nothing to do with the subject at hand. The reason it's not stopped is because of state-run prisons.

It's prison what do you even mean by options?

It's an option for the government, apparently.

Banning slavery in its entirety puts the United States at a disadvantage compared to other developed economies. It is better to apply forced labour in a precision manner and enjoy the benefits, rather than risk all of America being turned into a sweatshop as it is surpassed by crueller nations.

I'm pretty sure most developed nations already have the bans in place, excluding Russia. Unless you're lumping in developing nations like China, which have a heavy slave population.
