They already do this with inmates, and ICE centers are a form of incarceration. If it gets easier, it’s not hard to imagine them being used as “unskilled” labor.
With all due respect, which I have no idea what amount that is, this is completely absurd. Most trade work is just not being outsourced because it has to be done locally and that they have a vocational program in a jail somewhere doesn’t mean anything.
It’s fine if you don’t, but you’ll find yourself surprised more than a few times in the next few years with that attitude. The point I was trying to make with the article is they state that there’s a 43% lower odds someone doesn’t return to prison, which means that there’s still high chance that when they return to prison, and now they are now enslaved skilled labor. Do you think that the lost investment of reincarcerated workers by the companies will go unnoticed and unpursued? With automation of the industry, the required skill floor is dropping, meaning it will be even easier to train new labor. I hope I don’t need to explain that slave labor exists through the current prison system.
No, you don’t need hoardes for a payoff, just enough to push a profit.

I dunno I don’t really foresee armies of ICE laborers coming to fix your HVAC…to arrive more back at the point.

Am I making sense now?
