This is the thing leftists are wrong about the most often I think. In prison, access to work is a privilege. It marks time, gets you commissary, breaks up the boredom a little, keeps guards off your back, earns parole.

Prisons aren't plantations, they're ghettos. Concentrations of undesirables separated just for the purpose of separation. Couple that with Covid, lack of medical care, and guard beatings, the US prison system is an anti-black, anti-brown genocide.
The labor is almost incidental. If it was just about labor they could bring back coolies and the bracero program.
