      Prisoners have limited rights to refuse anything. They are not fairly compensated for theor work and in other states the prisons “loan” prisoners to companies to do work who pay the prisons for this work.

      It’s slavery. The USA never banned slavery for prisoners. It’s literally in the 14th amendment.
