      Okay so I looked up the name and it’s something called “Federal Prison Industries”? Which is already a very alarming name, but apparently they’re behind that brand with cutesy unicorns that’s all over various stores in my city. What the hell?

          Sorry, I am confused. Do they sell them physically? As in, Joe Business can just stroll into a prison and say “Yeah, I’d have uuuhh twenty blacks and five Arabs, wrap em”? Or am I having a brain fart and you mean selling their labour?

              Renting for labor implies physical relocation, doesn’t it? That’s insane. You’re right, it is slavery

                Yes, they are relocated to factory prisons or straight up plantations where they are used as slave labor.
