Is Forcing Prisoners to Work a form of Slave labor?

Published: Aug. 10, 2016, 7:07 p.m.

Yeah, I know it's a funny question, but we do have a prison system that pays prisoners little to nothing for a days labor and then sells that product to companies at discounted prices. Is this the free market at work or is it exploitation? In a recent article from returntonow.net, the author takes a look at several cases where companies benefit from the cheap labor of the prison system. According to the article, some prisoners are forced to work or face solitary confinement. Is this a choice between free markets or slave labor? Is there a better solution? Of course, there is. And I'll talk about it today. We've also going to cover Trumps 2nd amendment comments. Right wing radio is rushing to his defense and trying to explain what he "really meant" or what he "really said." I'll play you the audio, and you can decide if what he said was really all that damning or not. Finally, I've got a report suggesting Germany should be ready to nationalize it's banks in the event of another economic downturn. The writing is on the wall people. The question is, what are you going to do about it. Swiss America wrote an excellent report about this, and you should check it out. www.swissamerica.com/liberty Thanks so much for being one of the 20,000 + listeners a day.
