This is a good article about economic exploitation in American prisons and may tell you some things you did not already know about that. I offer one critique, however, which is that the author, Chris Hedges,underplays the role of racism in present-day jails and prisons (see the film Broken On All Sides or read Michelle Alexanders The New Jim Crow. And in saying that the carceral state (prison nation) is all about economic exploitation, he overlooks the personhood-killing role of boredom in jail and prison and the factor of unemployment for many before and after jail or prison time (see Visions of Abolition). - posted by Mary Paterson
