the AFL-CIO supports prison
labor programs that:
• Provide training for work likely to
be available to convicts after their
release.
• Produce goods and services that
are exclusively for government use
and may not be sold to the public.
• Pay wages that are no less than the
prevailing wage for similar [work]
in the private sector, with appropriate deductions for room and
board, taxes, and contributions for
victim restitution funds....
• Prohibit the use of prison labor to
replace strikers or provide services
that may prolong a strike.
• Prohibit the displacement of existing jobs by prison labor.

This would actually work in a White society.

@AlabasterBrick @thatguyoverthere Probably. Or at least a society that operates in reality the way it claims to on paper. Everything right now is fake, gay, and duplicitous.

@thatguyoverthere I like this except I know "room and board" will be abused by private prisons as it is right now.

@BowsacNoodle I get the feeling this is a pretty old doc. I don't know what kinds of changes might exist.

@thatguyoverthere Private prison utilization expanded quite a lot in the late 90s and early 00s. I reckon they're charging quite a lot more for room and board, while also billing the state. Only private industry can get away with double dipping and exploiting the government; regular people can barely get what's nominally owed to them.
