Forced Labor as a Social Problem

The topic of forced labor is from chapter seven: work and unemployment. I chose this topic because I was interested in seeing how it is used legally in some corrections facilities and why it is when it has been illegal for many years.

"Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves."
-Abraham Lincoln


This link takes you to an article that discusses forced prison labor and how it violates international laws that were set in place by the very countries who use this type of labor in their corrections facilities. 


This video is an example of a Chinese prisoner who had been in prison and was forced into doing labor.
