#2 ...are prisoners, earning as little as 23 cents an hour.

Obviously, not a union shop. Of course there's that little nagging clause involved....

Amendment 13 - Slavery Abolished. Ratified 12/6/1865.

1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

#7 Learning job skills leading to gainful employment for the burgeoning prison population, when most are illegals, gang members tied to the cartels/terrorists, or even homegrown anti-government psychopaths???? What could possibly go wrong????
