Slavery would be a "scary" word to apply to it, but their criminals, whatever their punishment is, it shouldn't be fun.
But I agree those would be concerns. You'd have to have the parole board be a completely separate entity (not sure how that works right now) and any company participating would have to be of the understanding that any labor needs which arent met by the prisons will have to made up by company employees at market wages. They would still save huge dollars regardless.
But yeah, I wouldn't put a lot of trust in those people either. But at least this way they wouldn't be actually enslaving Malaysian people. And I know those people would otherwise not have work, but there may be alternatives to that too.
It's not an easy problem thats for sure.
