Most InfoSec researchers are unaware that most hackers can be stopped by saying "please."
Just a friendly reminder, slavery has been an active part of the Neoliberal agenda since the 60s. For-profit prisons use their prisoner population to do factory work (cus nobody cares about them or their wellbeing), and the products of which can then be sold on the open market, which undercuts and drives small businesses out of operation.
Prison labor has touched and destroyed countless American industries, and has genuinely done more damage to the idea of a "free market" than every Communist on the planet combined. How exactly does one compete against a business whose cost-basis is quite literally the cost of Nutriloaf?
The one I personally have experience with is telemarketing. I worked at an agency whose business it was to call businesses and gather information about what IT tech they use, and at what point they were likely at the highest propensity to buy new stuff. We'd sell those leads to tech companies like Dell or HP for their sales teams to reference.
There was another "agency" out there that did the same thing we did with American young adults, but with prison labor paid something like $1-$3/day. It basically put our agency out of business, which good riddance, but also, it was at least a living for hundreds of people. Now those jobs don't exist, pretty much.
