As Smith puts it, “Whether you like it or not, they are still American citizens, and they’ll be your neighbor when they get out.” So much wrong with this concluding remark, where to start! Still American citizens builds on the false premise that incarcerated American citizens have basic rights ensured. They dont. Prison labor helps make ex-felons into desirable future neighbors is the next troubling concluding premise. Footnote comment on controversy of cheap prison labor jumps right past the controversy, saying businesses just looking for cheap labor are not allowed in. Oh? What else? Cheap transport costs of goods maybe - cheaper than cargo shipping from China. Cheaper than paying healthcare insurance - prison healthcare is the REAL Affordable Care Act in action! Demanding a list of all products made in prison and boycotting the business is where this tax payer will exercise her rights. More to follow.
