But the majority of the USA citizens don’t think of themselves as being danger of being sent to prison for a long enough period of time to be exploited that way… and while the USA might have one of the largest prison populations on the planet its not a common experience for the majority of the population.
So I think there is an argument that it cannot be assumed that the typical un-incarcerated USA citizen might not feel much solidarity with the incarcerated population. I’m finding myself thinking this fact might be something that would strengthen Sakara’s point.
Prison labor would be an excellent example of internal exploitation.
