Lol I saw this shit on reddit , So America is taking immigrants who legally become Americans and force them to work. Here's the problem, first it's not "immigrants" it's illegal immigrants. Second, prisoners are not forced to work and there given a choice to sit doing nothing or volunteer to work. They do get paid plus receive time off their prison sentence for working.

Many states in the south still practice hard labor as a sentence. So your second paragraph isn't accurate.

In California, hard labor is often used in lieu of prison. Minor misdemeanors can just get community service, but DUIs can often end up with a sentencing of 140+ hours of CalTrans labor instead of any prison time for repeat offenders. That is also labor without pay for non-prisoners.

Feel free to provide any legitimate proof, any prisoner has the right to sit in there cell watching opera, sit in the prison gym, play basketball or do nothing. They are no "forced to work" and if they do work they are paid.

So let's see any legitimate documentation s I'm willing to admit being wrong.

From 2010 to 2015[51] and again in 2016[52] and 2018,[53] some prisoners in the US refused to work, protesting for better pay, better conditions and for the end of forced labour. Strike leaders have been punished with indefinite solitary confinement.[54][55] Forced prison labour occurs in both public and private prisons. The prison labour industry makes over $1 billion per year selling products that inmates make, while inmates are paid very little or nothing in return.[56] In California, 2,500 incarcerated workers fight wildfires for $1 an hour through the CDCR's Conservation Camp Program, saving the state as much as $100 million a year.[57]

CivilEats doesn't understand how temporary employment agencies operate, does he? Employers "lease" those temp workers from the agency.
