Legalizing weed would drastically reduce the prison population of America.

And we all know how bad that would be.

They'll figure out another way to get their slaves :/

Who will punch all our license plates?! Imagine the cost to society! /s

Prison slave labor makes a lot more than just license plates.

I am, depressingly, aware. License plates are the stereotypical example (at least in my mind).

It's absolutely fucking atrocious that anyone is allowed to profit off prison labor. At the very least those funds could be sent to halfway homes but they should probably just be paid to prisoners.
