End the prison industry

There is silence on the fact we have now become a “Gulag nation,” with the largest numbers of men and women in prison of any nation on earth - and that these prisons are being turned into an industry - prison labor is now competing with free labor. There is no outrage at the vast number of young African American males who have lost their voting rights because of felony convictions and approach the job market with this impossible strike against them.
