How much should our prisoners be paid for their work while our taxpayers pay for their food and housing while they're being punished for violating our laws?

What are you talking about with the Florida fields stuff?



What about Canada?
we have below min wage in jail here too.

i googled it and didnt see anything about slavery in canada

i was hoping you'd know something. why not focus on any western country and become an expert? i know about america.


chris hedges covered the unofficial slavery in days of destruction days of revolt. 1/5 of the book is dedicated to immokalee florida. even bernie sanders has mentioned it.

This is actual slavery. Haven't heard anything from you about it:


"In the 21st-century, the Libyan slave trade of Africans across the Sahara continues, with open-air slave markets reported in a number of cities in Libya, including the capital city, Tripoli.[4][5][6][7]"

People for sale: Where lives are auctioned for $400


"Tripoli, Libya (CNN) – “Eight hundred,” says the auctioneer. “900 … 1,000 … 1,100 …” Sold. For 1,200 Libyan dinars – the equivalent of $800.

Not a used car, a piece of land, or an item of furniture. Not “merchandise” at all, but two human beings.

One of the unidentified men being sold in the grainy cell phone video obtained by CNN is Nigerian. He appears to be in his twenties and is wearing a pale shirt and sweatpants.

He has been offered up for sale as one of a group of “big strong boys for farm work,” according to the auctioneer, who remains off camera. Only his hand – resting proprietorially on the man’s shoulder – is visible in the brief clip.

After seeing footage of this slave auction, CNN worked to verify its authenticity and traveled to Libya to investigate further.

Carrying concealed cameras into a property outside the capital of Tripoli last month, we witness a dozen people go “under the hammer” in the space of six or seven minutes.

“Does anybody need a digger? This is a digger, a big strong man, he’ll dig,” the salesman, dressed in camouflage gear, says. “What am I bid, what am I bid?”

Buyers raise their hands as the price rises, “500, 550, 600, 650 …” Within minutes it is all over and the men, utterly resigned to their fate, are being handed over to their new “masters.”

but it seems it is dependent on things

i dont expect to have love under slavery or dictatorships, i expect corruption and power abuse.
the bible does address this ya know; since you seem to refer to it also. We learn to have love even though others do not seem to reciprocate. It doesn't mean you merely roll over and not have any response.
