"Two men were released after The Times asked about them, half a year after their sentences had been completed." Horrific. This egregious human rights violation is something you'd think you read about in a developing nation, not a developed nation.

Standing out in any way in a small, socially conservative community can have some pretty terrible consequences.

Sounds really expensive for the municipality. The local jailers are probably doing well, though sticking it to the local rubes who support them.

Colonization ended 50 years ago and yet, there were never as many slaves in the world as there are today. There are more than 40 million people enslaved now. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Slavery_Index

bruh you have no idea. seriously. the "justice system" in the US should not be called a justice system, but a slavery and penal system:
> Thirteenth Amendment, Section 1:
> Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
the US also has private prisons. do you understand? e.g., there are about 1000 prisoners in california that are also firefighters getting paid $10 a day. do you think they cost $10 a day to california?
EDIT: I was possibly mistaken about this example specifically (see below) but only as of 2022-2023 (the fire fighters program has been around for much longer than 2022-2023). there are many other examples; if you've ever seen prisoners stamping license plates in a movie, the allusion is exactly to this kind of "work":

Please, read this wiki article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_slavery
Slavery was not invented by "colonizers". There are plenty of examples of slavery, where no conquest had happened at all, e.g., peonage.

It's also a "wealth transfer from people not part of the system to people who are" system.

“E.g.” is is misused here: California prison firefighters are not an example of private prisons (California does not employ private prisons.)
> do you think they cost $10 a day to california?
Well, yeah, they are state prisoners in state prisons, whos do you think is paying the $10/day to the prisoners?
