Can you solve the equation?

Homelessness becomes illegal + For-profit prison system that's allowed by law to force prisoners to work + increasing cost of rent + lower relative price of labor =

spoilerSituation of dog eats dog, increasingly pauperized labor market where the poorest layer of the population gets enslaved, and the second poorest, and the third poorest, and the n-th poorest all will also fall one by one, because guess what? Free workers now have to compete in wages with prisoners.

They're gonna learn the hard way there's no such thing as free work when the ~~workers~~ slaves burn their factorys down.

That's a refreshing thought, and I hope you're right.

If your labor is forced because you're incarcerated, you're absolutely justified in damaging your slavers any way you can. I'm not talking about work programs, unless they are "work programs" that you can be punished for not taking.
