Prisoners in Florida are forced to work grueling jobs under threat of solitary confinement or worse — and they are not paid for the work they do.
Meanwhile, they are charged $50 a day and have to pay to buy toiletries and food. They leave prison in debt.

Florida and Texas are the two most evil places in this county. If hell exists, the people responsible would be sent to the lowest level.

oof. Some conservatives figured... there's a captive consumer group with no choice and no ability to fight back. Cause the outsourced video call scam wasn't enough. Unbelievable.

The American prison system needs raised to the ground. It's privatised abuse of poor people.

What's wrong with that? There's no chance that system will lead to higher and more violent crime rates. /s

They make them pay $50/day for the full sentence even if they get off early.

And can continue to be charged that $50 a day, even after their release, if they're released early. It's horrific

How sick is this! The idea of a prison sentence is to prepare the inmates for life after incarceration
