Holy shit heres some info on the place he may be going to: Angola was a plantation first, housing slaves who cut sugar cane for the master. At the end of the 19th century it evolved into a prisoner lease system, with sentenced prisoners being rented to area companies. In 1901, Angola officially became a state-operated penitentiary, but in name only. It remained a plantation, with prisoners crowded into large wooden buildings and working from sunup to sundown in sugar cane and cotton fields—rain or shine, 12-14 hours a day, seven days a week. http://colorlines.com/archives/2011/08/dispatch_from_angola_faith-based_slavery_in_a_louisiana_prison.html

Pretty much since always.
Quote:
Wikipedia said: Federal Prison Industries (UNICOR or FPI) is a wholly owned United States government corporation created in 1934 that uses penal labor from the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) to produce goods and services. FPI is restricted to selling its products and services to federal government agencies and has no access to the commercial market.[15] The 13th Amendment of the American Constitution in 1865 explicitly allows penal labour as it states that "neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for a crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."[16][17] Unconvicted detainees awaiting trial cannot be forced to participate in forced rehabilitative labor programs in prison as it violates the Thirteenth Amendment. But, the "convict lease" system became popular throughout the South following the American Civil War and into the 20th century. Since the impoverished state governments could not afford penitentiaries, they leased out prisoners to work at private firms. According to Douglas A. Blackmon, because of the revenue received by local governments, they had incentives to arrest blacks; tens of thousands of African Americans were arbitrarily arrested and leased to coal mines, lumber camps, brickyards, railroads, quarries, and farm plantations.[18] In Florida, convicts were often sent to work in lumber camps and turpentine factories.[19] The state governments maximized profits by putting the responsibility on the lessee to provide food, clothing, shelter, and medical care for the prisoners, with little oversight. This resulted in extremely poor conditions, numerous deaths, and perhaps the most inhumane system of labour in the United States.[20] Reformers abolished convict leasing in the 20th-century Progressive Era, stopping the system in Florida in 1919. The last state to abolish the practice was Alabama in 1927. At the same time, labor has been required at many prisons, such as Parchman Farm in Mississippi, which operated as a for-profit plantation, which yielded revenues for the state from its earliest years. Prisoners were used to clear the dense growth in the Mississippi bottomland, and then to cultivate the land for agriculture. By the mid-20th century, it had 21,000 acres under cultivation. In the late 20th century, prison conditions were investigated under civil rights laws, when abuses of prisoners and harsh working conditions were exposed. It was not until the 1970s that the state abandoned the for-profit aspect of its forced labor from convicts and planned to hire a professional penologist to head the prison. A state commission recommended reducing the size of acreage to what was needed simply to grow foodstuffs for the prison.[21] In 1934, however, federal prison officials concerned about growing unrest in prisons, lobbied to create a work program. Private companies got involved again in 1979, when Congress passed a law allowing them to hire prisoners in some circumstances. Penal labour is sometimes used as a punishment in the U.S. military.[22] Penal labor is not required in the United States, but refusal to work normally results in the inmate receiving less food, a longer sentence, or other sanctions.

I'd bet large amounts of wiskey!
I am not at all sure how prison labor camps are legal. 8 hour days is the system in America. I do wonder what they do with disabled people in these prisons. I am sure that if another country did these prisons, it would be a human rights issue.

This Guy is going to be forgotten within a month. "Write him a letter" why? So you can tell him how unjust the laws are, how he should have moved to a medi state etc
Its pointless.
