@_.sheilove: Just another glaringly obvious piece of evidence: they don’t care about us. They don’t pass legislation for us. They don’t protect us. They only serve their corporate masters and private interests. Wake up. And look up. #fyp #fy #texas #legal #govabbott #fypage #lawtok #lawyersoftiktok
Slavery was never abolished. It just became convict labor. It was an exception carved out in the 13th Amendment

So we are subsidizing their empty beds? Sounds like fraud, waste and abuse 👀

Prisons are like hotels. They make money when the beds are at maximum occupancy.

This admin is deporting hard working migrants (who are already paid badly) bc they want to lease out slaves, EHEM, I mean prisoners, and pay them even less (if anything!) instead. This country was built on slavery and it still functions on slavery, they wanna go back to that being 100% the case

A secondary reason, prisons are located in red districts, and the prison population counts towards the census and districting. Lower prison populations, make it more difficult to gerrymander.

Liquor store owners are one of the most powerful lobbies in state government. Along with car dealership powers and landlords.

Same in Arkansas that’s why they say if you go to jail there you ain’t getting out. They’re lowest in parole practice nobody gets parole. 💵 the root of all evil.

Non-prisoners are too expensive per hour.

Can confirm. For profit prisons are paid by the amount of beds, regardless of whether there is a person in it or not. The State prioritizes filling those empty beds because they have to pay either way. On the flip side, the reason is because, according to the contract, the for profit "claims" to save taxpayer money by housing them cheaper. The reality is, they have yet to show that savings.

Wrong. Texas only has ONE private prison. The STATE of Texas has bought them all out. You are right about slave labor as the migrant workers are not crossing the border or ICE is rounding them up. In a nutshell the State of Texas will be benefitting.

Alabama uses its prison labor to work at McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s and Taco Bell. The prisons pay the state 400 million a year to do this. I don’t go to those fast food places.
