Response: Profiting From Prison Labour

After reading this blog and article, I agree that it is unethical for companies to be making profit from prison labour. Not only is it unfair to law abiding citizens who are unemployed, but I believe that it is wrong to be paying a prisoner 60 cents per hour for their work. This makes a company look unethical because they are not giving those searching for a job with full determination and potential a chance and they are taking advantage of prisoners. Although many people may assume that all prisoners are bad and do not deserve to have jobs that law-abiding citizens are fighting for, not everyone knows why or how that person got into prison or if they could be truly innocent. I believe that this is highly unethical of the business because they are taking advantage of prisoners and making it unfair to law abiding citizens searching for a job.
