In addition to the scary problem of privately-operated, for-profit prisons, for-profit corporations are further incentivising higher incarceration rates by tapping into the prison population and exploiting what essentially amounts to slave labour. Regardless of your politics or how you feel about prisoners’ rights, this affects you! The corporations that exploit prisoner labour, eager to get even more of it, will continue to bribe (“lobby”) Washington for more laws and harsher sentences, because more prisoners = more cheap labour. Any financial incentive to needlessly put more people in prison should be cause for alarm! Furthermore, it is the taxpayers who are subsidizing the decreased labour costs of these private corporations.
This campaign aims to identify all companies that use prison labor. Let us show these organizations what we think of their practices and boycott them until they stop using prison labour!

There is no way that my labor would ever be utilized in the unlikely event of incarceration. Why don’t the prisoners stop working? That’d bring the economy to a grinding halt. Inmates could play their trump card.
Most prisoners are very young and have zero exposure to the ideas we discuss here.
The system is set up to incentivize their participation in this “slave labor” for prison privileges. Things like extra Ramon noodles. Sad.
The intelligence agencies, specifically the CIA (but many others) participate in the importation of drugs (cocaine, opium) into America. Our children and family members die, or end up in prison, directly abetted by these “government” entities.
The private, for profit, prison system and it’s evil twin, the “war on drugs” need to be flushed down the toilet of history.
The DEA and ATF should be abolished. The CIA and FBI disbanded completely before being reorganized from the ground up.
I know, first hand, that ~ 50% of the people on probation commit crimes (robbery, drug sales, etc.) to pay for their monthly probation meetings that cost $65/month, or $77/month if there is a drug test required at the whim of the probation officer.
That’s a vicious “slave” circle if I’ve ever seen one.
Boycott as many of these companies as you can.
Especially Zionist/Jewish owned and controlled businesses.
