Thank you. I can only fear things are about to get worse.I predicted this in January, but I'm still shocked it's being done so openly, so soon.
When prison work is voluntary and a path to rehabilitation, which it can be, that can benefit communities - but what we are seeing instead is coerced, indentured, labour.
Effectively a huge expansion of slavery.
📈 For-profit-prison stocks rose on Trump's re-election.
👨🏼⚖️ By reframing the narrative of immigration from a civil to criminal issue, it gives a fig-leaf to justify forced labour under the 13th Amendment.
💸 For profit prisons donated $millions to GOP / Trump- lobbying for Higher ICE incarceration targets, and more immigration camps and prisons.
On top of the racist nationalism, their profit margin is the driving impetus of ICE overreach.
With plans to literally seize and incarcerate millions of people, the majority without a criminal record, without due process, what is the next logical step? Feed and house them forever?
There's a dark dual-carriageway ahead: Monetisation, and extermination.
