Haha.. nice joke.  Is it actually working during normal circumstances?
I've heard rumours that in some US prisons prisoners make license plates
or stuff. I heard about a prisoner suing a prison for slavery. I hope it
was dismissed.

 There are some prison industries but it's a low percentage. I don't know
if it still applies but the Forest Service was using prison made signs and
some states were using prison labor for road signs and license plates.
 I've seen chain gangs like in Cool Hand Luke in the south in the '50s and
'60s but I don't know if they still exist.

 Ah... maybe Trump will reinstate chain gangs? Seems like a good idea that just disappeared somehow.
 

There are also internal jobs like cooking, laundry, and maintenance that
have a very minimal wage but it's better than nothing.

 Hmm, maybe he will use prisoners as border guards to guard the border? You chain them to a pole, leave food and water and tell them to shoot anything that approaches (from the _right_ direction). ;)
