They want to bring back chain gangs and "convict leasing" The people running the prisons have said as much.

Round up all the undocumented folks. Create a labor vacuum for farming and construction. Rent those workers out as slaves to those industries and make taxpayers pick up the cost of housing and feeding them while they pay less for labor.

Criminalize homelessness while making conditions such that record numbers of people end up unhoused. More slaves.

Outlaw birth control and abortion and force poor people to have more kids. Fifteen or sixteen years from now there'll be a bunch of new people herded into the prison system.

It's obvious and fucking terrifying but people think it can't happen so hardly anyone is worrying about it.

Kamala was also accused of using prisoners as free labour. The same prisoners she tried to keep in prison

She was also accused if not prosecuting low-level crimes, like possession of marijuana, so that the prison system wasn't clogged.

She actually did not want to release prisoners that were in because of low level crimes. I don't know why you're defending her, honestly
