    They should be required to pay them a competitive rate

    If the system was properly functional without these loopholes, they’d be forced to raise their rates to attract workers. But since they have a captive workforce, they’re able to not worry about it

    You cant justify 40% wage cost for transportation to the job.

    Oh it’s better than that: not only do they take a 40% cut of their wages, they charge fees on top of that 40% for transport and washing uniforms.

      Not sure about the first item but yeah i read it wrong… they pay fees on top of 40%. Prison reform needs to be a focal political discourse right behind climate change…
