INVESTORS PROFIT BY PRISONERS

Corrections investments are doing well in the stock market. The people
known as inmates, convicts, criminals, parolees, ex-offenders and so
on have become valuable commodities who should be afforded much more
respect than current practices allow.

But, of course, other than being the right thing to do, what profit
motive would that serve for those focused on nefarious greed rather
than long-term human benefits?

A slave is defined as a person who is the property of another. Slavery
was outlawed a long time ago.
