There is no doubt that is where this country is headed. Remove education from the equation, and we should see an explosion of the prison workforce.
?The private contracting of prisoners for work fosters incentives to lock people up. Prisons depend on this income. Corporate stockholders who make money off prisoners? work lobby for longer sentences, in order to expand their workforce. The system feeds itself,? says a study by the Progressive Labor Party, which accuses the prison industry of being ?an imitation of Nazi Germany with respect to forced slave labor and concentration camps.?
The prison industry complex is one of the fastest-growing industries in the United States and its investors are on Wall Street. ?This multimillion-dollar industry has its own trade exhibitions, conventions, websites, and mail-order/Internet catalogs. It also has direct advertising campaigns, architecture companies, construction companies, investment houses on Wall Street, plumbing supply companies, food supply companies, armed security, and padded cells in a large variety of colors.?
