BREAD AND WATER LYRICS

"Free Labor (Camps)"

Prison labor is slave labor
Trying to rehabilitate,
Or get cheap labor for the state?
Private companies now foot the bill
For the new prisons that we build
They generate thousands of man-hours a day
For dollars less than minimum wage
Prison labor is robbery
Tell them they’re working towards being free
No way to organize or protect themselves
Labor rights are human rights
Work for good behavior or to keep busy
Or they may never see the outside world
And what was the crime? Handling drugs?
Five years of free labor
When you don’t follow their laws
Prison labor is robbery
Pennies a day won’t support their families
We must give them a way to help themselves
Labor rights are human rights
When does a crime become so bad?
That you lose the rights that all people should have
Do they need a reason to lock you away?
Or are profits their motivation
