Worth including the percentage of the entire world population, as well. People might mistakenly assume that, because the US is a big world leader with lots of people, maybe 25% of all people live in the USA, or maybe it’s like 21% and we are just slightly overrepresented in prison population. aybr it’s 17%, or even 12% would make that number seem less shocking.
But it’s 4.2%. We have six times more slavesprisoners with jobs per person than the rest of the world.
Pretty much exactly that plus a market. Prisoners held for torture are still slaves. They turn a profit for the prison as long as they’re not dead. They’re just funded by your tax dollars instead of private wealth.
Unless they’re run by a state entity it’s extremely unlikely they’ll operate at a loss.
If you’re talking about the “Whoopsy doodle! #redacted :3” portion of the US military budget then yes it’s possible only the tortured prisoner title applies.

The 13th amendment specifically says slavery is only abolished except as punishment for a crime
They’re legally just slaves. Getting a small and conditional pay doesn’t make them not slaves.
Hwy that’s not true! Not all of them are slaves!
What about the torture prisons? Do they just not count? Rude.
The fuck you think a plantation was?
Kind of a mix of the two.

Not if you’re not extracting labor from them! I have no reason to believe black sites are directly profitable!

I was reading an article a few months ago that one of the largest plantations is still around but is now a prison.
