    This is an interesting idea, but I’m still a bit irked about prison labor.

    I understand that this permits productive ways to pass time, but the wages per hour are atrocious. It reminds me of the 13th amendment of the US Constitution:

    “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.”

      I agree, especially in the US, with large brands taking advantage.

      Don’t the wages reflect that they have no bills to pay though?
