Good point. If we count the presidents who've used prison slave labor in some form, it's probably 100%.

Not to detract from the point, but isn't nathan j robinson a weirdo of some kind?

True, although I'd make a distinction between using slave labour for the ends of the state/capital e.g. firefighting, stamping license plates, and purely personal gain at your residence

If being a self professed 'socialist' while union busting dressed as a dandy is weird then yes

Anyway here's a non-NJR source https://www.newsweek.com/hillary-clinton-prison-labor-african-americans-arkansas-622209 there's others out there as well

Hilary also discusses it in her book It Takes a Village
