Many of us are old enough to remember prison work gangs, especially in the rural areas of our country.Working prisoners use to build all the governments furniture. My school desk in high school was stamped on the bottom that it was made by the state prison.These prisoners were paid and learned something and kept busy by these programs.Unfortunatly the unions put a stop to this,the road building gangs and the prisoner farm labor programs because they could not compete with cheap prison labor. As a result everything cost more including housing prisoners.Tax payers got screwed again.
