In Maine, prisoners are thriving in remote jobs

On the one hand, prisoners being coerced to work is payment for their crimes. On the other hand, that job would have gone to someone else at market rates. This kind of thing drags down the market rates.

We really need to get rid of the exception in the 13th amendment.

The number of prisoners who are capable of this type of work are minuscule and unlikely to affect wages at large.

just wait...
