Image Description.
Facebook post from Matt Norris.
Post reads like a conversation between 2 people:
Prison labor is a problem we need to address soon.
Convicts in prison should have to work like the rest of us.
You mean like slavery?
No, weâre giving them 3 meals and a bed, at our expense, while they just sit around and watch TV. They should have to work!
Right. Like slavery.
Itâs not like slavery!
Can they leave?
No.
Can they refuse work?
No.
So how exactly isnât this slavery?
We DO pay them!
Do we pay in accordance with labor laws?
No. We pay them between 33 cents and $1.41/hour with a maximum daily wage below $5, then take up to half of that as room&board fees and victim compensation.
Right. So like slavery.
BUT.
No.
Image then links to this url.
Prison wages come up again and again in the context of prison conditions and policies. So, we found the most up-to-date information for each
Below URL image reads âfun bonus fact: enough of our labor market currently relies on labor at these depressed rates, that it has a substantial downward pressure on both wages and job availability in low-skilled sectors. Immigrants arenât taking your jobs. Slavery is.
End description.
Iâd also like to add itâs not just private prisons. Itâs also private detention centers where ICE keeps the immigrants.

The constitution even acknowledges that itâs still slavery
a hefty chunk of items with that âmade in americaâ sticker are in fact made by prison labor at the very least anything that is a product of prison labor should be required to have a similar sticker to inform consumers they are taking part of this system, which is difficult to track because prison made manufactured goods include almost the entire uniform of a US soldier, road construction in most southern states, and agricultural goods sold in most stores
thisâŚ. looks familliar
Prison is just covert slavery and thatâs why they wanna keep so many black people in there for the smallest offences.
This is insane
(Just to clarify, Iâm not saying youâre wrong. Iâm just giving you more information because youâre right, and I like your blog, and I want you to have sources in case you need them.)
Itâs not even covert. Itâs blatant and overt. Itâs even called slavery in the constitution.
âSlavery is illegal except as punishment for a crime.â
SECTION. 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, sh
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
People just donât care because they think itâs all murderers and rapists, despite the fact that the number of violent criminals in jail is so small it might as well be negligible.
As of September 30, 2009 in federal prisons, 7.9% of sentenced prisoners were incarcerated for violent crimes,[39]Â while at year end 2008 of sentenced prisoners in state prisons, 52.4% had been jailed for violent crimes.[39]Â In 2002 (latest available data by type of offense), 21.6% of convicted inmates in jails were in prison for violent crimes. Among unconvicted inmates in jails in 2002, 34% had a violent offense as the most serious charge. 41% percent of convicted and unconvicted jail inmates in 2002 had a current or prior violent offense; 46% were nonviolent recidivists.[46]
Itâs literally slavery, just dumbass racists and capitalists donât care enough to figure out why weâre calling it that.

Actually, no, I got something to add and itâs this video by Knowing Better on Youtube:
Slavery is baked into the US American system so much more firmly than anyone ever really acknowledges.
Thereâs a very good and very hard-hitting documentary about it on Netflix
Also⌠even if someone has committed a violent crime, enslaving them is⌠ya know⌠still a fucked up thing to do? How is that even in question?
The whole discourse of âwell theyâre not even all violent offendersâ has this weird undertone of âif theyâre good people they shouldnât have to be slavesâ that horrifies me. Even if 100% of them were violent, Slavery. Is. Wrong. All humans have rights.
i would highly recommend âAmerican Prisonâ by Shane Bauer. itâs a sickening read, by a journalist who went undercover as a prison guard and the things he saw and was made to do and did voluntarily. but extremely good, and in many ways necessary. he has some articles that are basically abridged versions as well, if you donât want to or canât read the whole book
happy 20 year anniversary of Neil banging out the tunes!
though every rat is special, it's a wonderful and unusual thing for their accomplishments to be remembered and cherished by so many people so many years later. we're all so fortunate to know about the rat who banged out the tunes!
thank you to all the people who sent me reference photos of their beloved rats for this piece!!! credits under the cut!
been thinking again about the parallels between hinata and oikawa lately
americans are sooo desensitized to guns and sometimes it manifests in ways that affect your media literacy. like remember in the first episode of sherlock when john watson opens up his drawer and you see a gun in there and youre supposed to understand that this is narratively significant and conveys his suicidality as well as his willingness to skirt rules and laws but the first time i watched it i was like oh well theres his desk gun. lots of people have those
If you are a PET trying to help your HUMAN just remember the acronym WAY
Are you in the Way?
Are you in the wAy?
Are you in the waY?
If the answer to all three is YES then you are HELPING đđđ
reblog if you hate the current interior design trend of painting everything white with hints of grey or black. ignore if you have no taste
has anyone noticed that after the porn ban of 2018 tumblr was essentially killed from the mainstream and everyone flocked to other social media sites like twitter and meta. then those sites got enshittified to where twitter became Nazi Central and meta sites had an entire meme around getting âzuccedâ aka mark zuckerberg himself would ban you for saying a no-no word like fuck. and then the mainstream shifted to tiktok where infamous toddlerspeak sentences like âhe got unalived by a pew pewâ were born because if you once again say a no-no word like kill or gun or any other word that isnât corporate i mean kid friendly then the algorithm will bury your post into the ground. and somehow weâve come full circle and tumblr is now the most bearable social media site because although we canât have female presenting nipples we can at least talk to each other like adults. has anyone noticed that at all or is it just me and the flaming skull
