Dear Congressman Smith:
Why don't we offer Apple free convict labor apple to build iPhones in the U.S.A.? It would bring plenty of good supply chain and other iPhone-related jobs to the U.S.A. I guess we're better served by our prisoners lifting weights in the yard and brewing pruno while all the jobs go to China?
According to my internet research, the the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) says there were 2,266,800 adults incarcerated in U.S. federal and state prisons, and county jails at year-end 2010. Surely some of those folks could spend some time making iPhones to repay their debt to society. Besides, they'd be learning valuable manufacturing skills while they're at it.
Please note that my question isn't limited strictly to Apple and iPhones. I use the iPhone as one example of a product manufactured abroad that we could manufacture here with convict labor, and by bringing the manufacturing to the U.S., related private sector (non-convict) jobs would come with it.
Please let me know whether you're FOR or AGAINST utilizing convict labor in an effort to bring jobs back to Americans. You can explain your position all you want, but please state clearly whether you are FOR or AGAINST this proposal. Thank you.
