Read you own quote mob.
Nationwide, more than seven million people are in US jails, on probation, or on parole,It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

So your rebuttal is the completely irrelevant fact that a prison is built on top of property that was once a plantation? Guess what, almost EVERYTHING in the south is built on top of what was once a plantation. I but UK prisons are built on top of land that was once a fuedal holding, ALL THE INMATES MUST BE SERFS!!!
In addition your brilliant position is that since the inmates do agricultural labor and slaves used to do agricultural labor then the inmates = slaves? Seriously?
Do you know what a slave is?
In any case, the video made a very specific claim that I have proven to be utterly false. Why are you so invested in it?Last edited by Patroklos; February 8, 2010, 11:44."The DPRK is still in a state of war with the U.S. It's called a black out." - Che explaining why orbital nightime pictures of NK show few lights.

I'd still love some disputing or corroborating stats on the amount of goods produced by prisons. That was the most shocking stat of the piece.Captain of Team Apolyton - ISDG 2012

Well the Helmet Number seems to originate from this Article
Article date:October 28, 2003
By Shane Graber, The Beaumont Enterprise, Texas Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News
Oct. 28--BEAUMONT, Texas-- While fighting in Iraq earlier this year, Marine Lance Cpl. Dillon Swearengin was unaware that he was wearing a small but critical piece of home.
So was the guy next to him. And the next guy. And the next guy. And the next guy. They all wore a piece of Southeast Texas atop their heads.
A factory in the medium-security federal prison here manufactures nearly every standard military helmet used by ground troops. Men and women in the fields refer to them as Kevlars or PASGTs personnel armor system for ground troops.
...
while the rest is "According to the Left Business Observer" (sic)Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!

When you're forced to work a 40 hour week 'earning' $0.04 an hour* doing work that has remained deliberately labour intensive (i.e. still 19th century), it is slavery by any other name.
Still, way to look like a chump defending the indefensible. As usual.

Not that there is anything wrong with having prisoners work."The DPRK is still in a state of war with the U.S. It's called a black out." - Che explaining why orbital nightime pictures of NK show few lights. Seriously.

So are you going to admit the video's accusations are BS or not. Keep in mind I just proved it, you are not going to do your self any favors with this retarded emotional rant of yours."The DPRK is still in a state of war with the U.S. It's called a black out." - Che explaining why orbital nightime pictures of NK show few lights.

The crops feed the inmates of Angola and many other "sister prisons" in the state. Warden Burl Cain says the facility spends only $1.41 a day to feed each inmate three meals because so much of the food is grown on prison grounds. Corn, wheat, cotton and soybeans are cultivated there — and crawfish and frog legs are taken from its lakes and ponds. Huge groves of pecans cover the hillsides. It was those pecans that found their way into the prison pralines Wilkerson was secretly crafting in his cell.
Hidden Kitchens travels to the Louisiana State Penitentiary and the world of unexpected, below-the-radar, down-home convict cooking at the Angola Prison Rodeo. The event, which draws thousands of spectators, features traditional dishes prepared and sold by inmates at the prison farm.
Seriously, this has got to be the most pathetic pet cause you have ever disgraced with your support."The DPRK is still in a state of war with the U.S. It's called a black out." - Che explaining why orbital nightime pictures of NK show few lights. Seriously.

Originally posted by MOBIUS View PostNo it's not, according to your own quote about the NG. Phasing out does not equate to out of use for the past decade.
But that is irrelevant because your video said ALL helmets in the army are prison manufactured. They are wrong, you are wrong (and retarded for not realizing this was BS off the bat), deal with it."The DPRK is still in a state of war with the U.S. It's called a black out." - Che explaining why orbital nightime pictures of NK show few lights.
