All of their workers are full-time, and never arrive late or are absent because of family problems; moreover, if they don’t like the pay of 25 cents an hour and refuse to work, they are locked up in isolation cells.

According to California Prison Focus, ‘no other society in human history has imprisoned so many of its own citizens.'”
