      Read you own quote mob.
      Nationwide, more than seven million people are in US jails, on probation, or on parole,
      That doesn't say that 7 million are in prison.

        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?

          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.

            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.

            ...

            Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!

                Use your brain, dickhead!

                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.

                  Like I said the PASGTs equipment has been out of use for the better part of decade, which means whether or not the PASGT was prison manufactured or not is irrlevant to a video posted yesterday commenting on the here and now.

                  Not that there is anything wrong with having prisoners work.

                    I like how you refute your own position while trying to defend your position. It makes my life a lot easier.

                    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.

                      No it's not, according to your own quote about the NG. Phasing out does not equate to out of use for the past decade.

                        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.
                        Feeding themselves do lessen their burden on the state via their chosen lives of crime. OMG SLAVERY!!!!

                        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 NG has them still BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T GOTTEN THEIR NEW ONES YET!!! That does not mean that they are still being produced for government use.

                            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 video is from a comedy show. It's not like it is from fox news or something so you don't have to take it seriously.
