Re-education through labor, not just for communists anymore!

It is also for capitalists. Georgia has a number of privately operated, for profit prisons. (It does not appear that any of them were involved in this strike.)

While sarcastic, the state of the "Prison-Industrial" complex reads like a science fiction novel.

You know sci-fi is frequently not about predicting the future, but preventing it.
