Yep, slavery was not abolished just moved into prisons. Out of sight out of mind. I believe it is one of the main reasons so many victimless crimes carry long prison sentences. Slave labor. I've also written before that "Made in America" is not a great thing to say if it was made inside a prison, and more and more goods are being manufactured by prisons, more and more service jobs are being taken over by prisons. We talk about outsourcing jobs, yet at the same time we are doing the same thing but into prisons.

Yes, I remember reading Made in America, that was a really good post. We are definitely of one mind on this issue.
