2.  market-price quality goods for sale to the Federal Government
This should really scare all the freepers working in the aerospace and defense companies. They are already making the office furniture and supplies. It's the next logical step.

3. That's kewl if they pay market value wages
to the inmates. I thought slavery was a dead institution. But let's lock up a bunch of harmless potheads, call 'em felons, and make 'em work. Better than outsourcing, eh?

4. How fucking visionary
Bushco, you've really outdone youselves on this one. Nazi fucking slave labor camps. How mother fucking quaint! It will be Divine Justice when these freaks are the ones that end up in prison.
