    Man…. The disconnect here

    Prisons are almost entirely run by prisoners. There are no “labor laws”

      That’s what they’re saying.

      If prisoners are to do manual labor, labor laws should apply, but that would require the USA to abolish slavery.

        Nonsense. Of course abolishing prison slavery would be a good thing. But the alternative, should such involuntary servitude remain, would be to impose humane regulations on such labor.
