No, it's highly interrelated. The ability for the judicial system to extract rents via prison labor alters the incentives for having and enforcing oppressive laws. Currently, forcing people to work on goat farms through threatening to imprison them is limited by economics - the police, prosecutors, etc only have so much resources, and the marginal prisoner costs the system money. When that's no longer true, things can end up dystopian in a hurry. |
