I mean in a year or so I’m sure the US will allow people “rent” prisoners and some of them will even be locally sourced!
Pretty sure that’s been going on for years.

Yeah that’s the typical chain gang type labor that we’ve always allowed. But I’m pretty sure a random citizen can’t just rent a single person atm. And it’s not going to be retail or office jobs. Who wouldn’t want their own prison “secretary”.
I think the southern cops or legislatures might have convicts doing janitorial work in their offices
I wouldn’t be surprised to hear some chief of police might use convict labor at their house.
That better never be me
Honestly it should never be anyone. Cops should get to benefit from throwing people in jail, that is a giant tempting pile of corruption.
I meant that in a homicidal way

Hate to break it to you, but that’s a longstanding practice.
Yeah but I meant your everyday American. You’re not walking down the street seeing your local prisoner carrying some yuppie’s shopping bags.
They’re scraping roadkill off highways and picking cotton. I’m suggesting they’ll change not only what forced labor is allowed but also how it looks.
