MODERN SLAVERY?!.. Prison Labor is a SCAM!

The prison industrial complex (PIC) is a system used to exploit prison workers for cheap labor with no benefits, while entrapping prisoners into a system in which they are unable to rise up and create a better life for themselves. Because of the forced free labor, lack of benefits, and horrible system that keeps prisoners down I can't help but ask is prison labor and the PIC modern day slavery? You will be SHOCKED at how many companies use prison labor, and how it's kept alive through lobbying and funneling money to American politicians. In this video I cover as much as I can regarding the prison industrial complex, what is keeping it alive, and how it's driving mass incarceration far beyond any other country.
