In Maine, prisoners are thriving in remote jobs

For profit prisons are the worst, it should be a state responsibility not a for profit company.

Especially with all the race issues in imprisonment.

All prisons in Maine are state or federally operated, none are private or operated for profit.

>Wages are garnished for child support, victim restitution and other fees. And for those who earn above a certain amount, 10% goes to the Department of Corrections for room and board.

So they take a cut of your pay. Totally not profit? They deserve it? Why not 20% why not 95%.

This criticism 'proves too much', as the same critique can be made of taxes, which doesn't seem like your intent, unless you believe that prisoners are just the 'tip of the iceberg' when it comes to state-slavery.

This is not rehabilitation. Its a politics long con to get free state money. Anytime someone has no rights and is getting money it goes to their captors. There is no exception. This guy in the link should be on probation at the very least.

Also this headline is yellow AF. "Prisoners are thriving" oh yeah? "THRIVING" In f-ing prison? I bet if you asked them 100% would rather not be doing their full time job in prison. I'd stake my life on it in fact.
