Meet the democrat’s protected class.

buses?
back during slavery they did not have ID tags, sure some escaped but most did not
We have much better tech now.

never heard of any prison farm

you can raise cattle but does the prison employ cowboys and butchers?
it has to be processed and stored, I doubt any prison has a massive cold storage

besides, should prisoners get to eat steak? F-that, they are criminals, they should get
the lowest grade food available as cheap as possible

prisoners should not be rewarded with TV, great food and entertainment

it's not a country club

You must not be from the South if you have never heard of prison farms.

Of course, it is. What reason do you imagine.

By the way, duly noted that you have not refuted my post because you can't.

you made it up. Which is obvious.

The sad fact is that private side employment grows the economy stronger than government side employment. It grows the employment that services it better also. In D.C. the federal government gives endless billions of dollars each year to the city, and it still has ghettos. Ghetto after ghetto. Decade after decade.

I agree 100% and the reason is government workers do not need to make a profit and the employees do not have to justify why they are needed.

I made what up? Are you aware that I lived there for decades and moved because of Newscum. Lemme guess. You don't know shit about Commyfornia.

Evidently, you want the pristine life only rural America can afford...

What I am saying is the dollar used is precious. And it has not been that way for a long time. In the cities they have the financial and economic centers the rural areas do not have. Ghettos have a lot of kiss ass groveling from them when accused of hate. The infrastructure built from immigrants arriving in a different era makes this possible.

So... back to the kids... DHS will backtrack whoever's housing these kids. They can expect raids in the immediate future. "Unaccompanied minors" are a great source of information about trafficked children.

I am not but where labor is more needed is cali where much of our veggies grow

I did learn something though:

prison farms exist in the Southern United States and have a long history, particularly tied to the region's agricultural and racial past. These facilities, also known as penal farms, are large correctional institutions where inmates perform agricultural labor, often under harsh conditions. They are rooted in the post-Civil War era, evolving from the convict leasing system, which exploited mostly Black prisoners for unpaid labor on plantations, mines, and railways, enabled by a loophole in the 13th Amendment that allows forced labor for those convicted of crimes.

 

[egp320i]

Many prisons are producing their food.

but at the tune of 50K a year?

harvesting some strawberries is hardly worth 25/hr

obviously hand picked, they are not going to give them any
means to kill another prisoners

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

how? do they buy land around the prison, buy farm equipment, harvest it, process it and store it?
I am sure the inmates don't want to live on corn, soybeans and wheat

Ever hear of a vegetable?

 

[westwall]

Ever hear of a vegetable?

Sure, we watched Joey bribem for 4 years.

 

[egp320i]

Ever hear of a vegetable?

haha yeah and do you know they have a very short shelf life if not processed and stored properly?
prisons are built to house inmates, not be a processing plant
who's running the processing..........the inmates who have no clue? yeah, that's going to work well

The ONLY thing they could do it has a company pick up the harvest, process it, etc

that does not mean the criminals are making their own food, that food will go somewhere else

the criminals will get the same slop they deserve........for being criminals

You really have no clue as to what you are talking about. I suggest doing some research instead of jumping to conclusions. You never heard of prison farms?

I knew someone who went to prison, and they recycled electronic equipment to earn commissary money.

excuse me but not until, I am not aware of any prison farm, oh so how much do they make in money with recycled electronics, 50k a year?
our E-junk, 95% of all that goes back to china so kids can sort out the trace elements that are worth money, not to some dude doing life could not give a shit about trace metals.
do the math, it's still a negative for us

You made it up. You response proves it.

 

[Stryder50]

Dimocrats don't care what these illegals have done, they'll be arriving at this piece of shit's jail cell to lend him comfort and aid.

And bail and a lawyer.

 

[Stryder50]

It helps to build character and a life long hard work ethic...Is exactly what MAGATs were screaming when the Dept and Ag begged Trump to leave the illegals alone in agribusiness or let them use unemployed or American teens to harvest and work the fields.

Back in the sixties when I was growing up, lots of kids (mostly white where I lived) did "work the fields" picking berries. How many of them made some money of their own during Summer. Just like school, they'd be at a bus-stop, catch a bus to go to work.

Then child labor laws changed and they couldn't do picking anymore.

BTW, picking berries was "piece work", you were paid by the quantity/weight of what you picked.

 

[Hollie]

If they had done an investigation and gone out to get the one illegal they actually found, I would not object.

But this was just a random raid, and everybody was rounded up and rousted.

Who cares what you object to?.

The raid was not random.

We humans are responsible for the illegal alien problem because we don't want to pay more for groceries, lawn mowing, construction work or things made at factories. We should collectively hand our heads in shame.

They work for a company that recycles electronic equipment under contract for the prison. They earn a few cents an hour to keep them busy and they can use the funds for the prison commissary. This particular prison was for low security prisoners convicted on non-violent crimes. There is not much chance of them trying to kill another prisoner.

Most people don't realize that some criminals are sent to minimum security prisons that look like military barracks. Ever hear of Club Fed? A federal prison operated on Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama where I was once stationed. The prisoners were allowed to play in the base softball league!

I am sorry that you have never been exposed to prison farms. You have never seen any movies like Cool Hand Luke, O Brother Where Art Thou, Bonnie and Clyde, and literally dozens of movies that portrayed prison farms. Louisiana's Angola prison is famous for its annual rodeo. Read about it and you will learn all about prison farms.

In the mid 70s, my first paying job was working my family's tobacco farms hauling in tobacco from the fields.
