lydia-gastrell: zerocapitalism: zerocapitalism: How does the US respond to a crisis? With slavery, of course! ABSOLUTELY WHAT IS YOUR POINT???? Voluntary? Fuck that shit. Prisons charge prisoners for everything. Phone calls, internet access, toiletries. Some have gotten rid of physical books so they can charge inmates by the minute to read ebooks. They intentionally serve disgusting food so prisoners will buy snack foods from the prison store. The pads they provide women are too small and too few INTENTIONALLY, so female prisoners will buy their own. They create an atmosphere of deprevation and misery that drives prisoners to “voluntarily” work for pennies just so they can eat food that won’t make them puke and actually communicate with their loved ones. -- source link
