idea: convince the food and necessities industries who would receive the $16k to lobby for this, against the prison companies who lobby for more prison time to increase their profits.

When you compare the largest stakeholders across the board it’s the same people. You would have to make >$150k a year for the food and necessities industries in order for them to try and change this. It’s far more than the direct $60k because there is money made from the slave labor and an inherent cost savings in not having to oppress the people in another, more expensive way.
