You may be too generous. The slaving mindset lives on, and the goal for private prisons is "how can I make the most money off this captive person". Obscene long-distance rates, pay-per-use computers, and now this proposed mail rule, are all about creating new revenue streams for an extractive business.

The entire US policing & carceral system arguably traces back to slave patrols. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2020/07/20/the-invention-...
