oooooo.....the scary "privilege" claim. I guess that is used as the general end-all word. I guess because you used the word "privilege", that's the end of the discussion.

I'm quite comfortable but would never advocate slavery for any human being. If anything these prisoners should be paid a minimum wage and funds only released post completion of sentence. A significant % of recidivism is due to being poor and having little to no options from my understanding.

Being poor in the USA is a criminal offense.
