> but to bring back slavery in Europe or the US would take a massive cultural shift over generations I think that example is taking it off-topic from humans' environmental destruction. Nevertheless, I hope you are aware that US for-profit prisons have a legal framework for institutionalized forced 'penal labour'. [0] All you have to say is that these are 'bad' criminals and that they deserve it, and public inertia will allow for this to be accepted and slipped into the background. While for-profit prison cronies are allowed to rent out people to business at zero cost. This is not prison 'professional' rehabilitation this is forced labour. Money shapes policy, outside that, policy only changes when an extremely high social threshold of indignation is reached. [0] https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/aug/23/prison... |
