    Had a buddy who went to jail, they get paid 1.50 an hour if I recall correctly. It is quite literally slavery and it’s why for profit prisons are such a big industry in the US.

      I can second this person’s comment, friend of mine spent time in jail and was paid shit for work. Treated themselves to “fancy” food once every 3 months which was really just like doctoring up microwave ramen at home with maybe some shit you find in a dumpster. It’s a bullshit for-profit system run by profiteering gluttons. It’s capitalism through and through.
