I have lived in 4 states that called out prison income and highlighted the deficit on prison labor as a problem. The sarcasm and the callout are necessary.

California especially they litterally put they're lives on the line for your payout. And it still wasn't a sure thing.

The state is not entitled to the labor of prisoners, especially those that are increasingly political in nature. This apply's equally to California, Texas, Missouri, and New York.
