Oh they’ll be made to pay an arm and a leg for the “privilege”. In fact, given US For-profit prison system, I suspect this move is wholly intentional, with the purpose of creating precariat. Indentured workers, forced into labour, but with none of proletariat’s power. Sounds like a bourgeoisie dream
This is how neo-liberals exploit the lumpen-proles, or the underclass.
They create the conditions that make crime inevitable, like taking the homelesses sleeping bags when it can go -20 degrees and they will freeze to death. People dont just give up and die in these situations, they commit crime.
It gives them a moral panic to ‘be tough on’
Reganism 101 really, create a class of ‘savages’ and provide the solution.
