Prison labour exploitation was already bad in the US before, when you actually had to be convicted of a crime to participate. Now we just have force labour camps for people who just happened to be born with the wrong genes.

Sounds awfully familiar.

When are the allies going to invade the US and free those under their tyrannical regime? When will the US get sanctioned? (Hint: never)
