That makes sense.

Parole was removed in my State. My sentence was 2.5 in and 4 out. Meaning, I did two and a half years in and then 4 years on parole.

And there's no such thing as good behavior.

But, if I wanted basic necessities, like soap and deodorant that wasn't shit so I wasn't getting harassed for poor hygiene, I either needed to work or get outside help from my family.

Anyway, I definitely see how they incentivize labor heavily. And the wages are essentially slave wages.

So it's on the spectrum, I'm not disagreeing there.

I'm just a trans woman that is very scared right now of the rhetoric around labor camps. And if I had to choose prison or labor camps, I would take prison.

But since they'll take my meds anyway, which will lead to my suicide likely, instead I just plan to fight.

Nothing to lose at this point sadly.
