На ветке было где-то сообщение, где описывался ужос американчегов от нашей пеницитарной системы. Типа в наших колониях зеков заставляют работать. То что они свою историю времен Великой депрессии забыли, когда в лагерях безработные работали за похлебку,  - это можно понять, но не все потеряно в современной Америке им могут это напомнить

Prisoners Help Build Patriot Missiles



This spring, the United Arab Emirates is expected to close a deal for $7 billion dollars’ worth of American arms. Nearly half of the cash will be spent on Patriot missiles, which cost as much as $5.9 million apiece.

But what makes those eye-popping sums even more shocking is that some of the workers manufacturing parts for those Patriot missiles are prisoners, earning as little as 23 cents an hour.

The work is done by Unicor,  previously known as Federal Prison Industries. It’s a government-owned corporation, established during the Depression, that employs about 20,000 inmates in 70 prisons to make everything from clothing to office furniture to solar panels to military electronics.
