There is more than ample prison labor, but what’s more I see literally thousands of able bodied people standing on the stoop or the corner everyday who could do the work and pay into their own subsistence instead of taxpayers doing it.

But they “ain’t fittin’ to do no farm work.”

The ACLU will move heaven and earth to make sure that the farm work will NOT be done by prisoners because it will demean them and bring back the ol’South mentality with all the plantations and slavery happy horshechit arguments.

Especially since a lot of prison inmates are after all, black.

Ever occur to you that prison labor is essentially free labor... and no one can compete with free labor.

And when the supply runs low, the government can make more by passing more and more restrictive laws.
