Bullet point 3 - Prison labour also undermines strikes and unions by relocating work to prisons, where organizing is impossible. Bullet point 4 - Neoliberal capitalism shifts industries abroad, but prison labour provides a local solution to growing labour unrest. Bullet point 5 - Profit-driven punishment incentivizes the state to increase incarceration, raising concerns about the society we want to live in.

Myth 4 - "Prison Labour has no effect or Relationship to Labour 'outside'" Bullet Point 1 - Prison labour in the U.S. emerged to counter union power, offering companies cheap, controllable, and replaceable workforces without employee rights. Bullet Point 2 - This practice displaces jobs from communities, exemplified by Speedy Hire, which replaced 800 workers with prisoners

Bullet Point 3 - The prison industry workshops favour literate, non-drug-using inmates for better jobs, leaving those with complex needs in the worst positions. Bullet point 4 - Modern prison governance prioritizes economic efficiency over care, focusing on profit through exploitation rather than rehabilitation or support for inmates. Bullet point 5 - The core logic of modern prison governance is economic.

Myth #3 - "Prison labour is important for rehabilitation" Bullet point 1: Prison labour started as a way to occupy inmates with pointless tasks, but evolved to serve capitalist interests, notably during WWI, WWII, and the Iraq invasion. It now underpins an economy based on caging humans. Bullet point 2: Prisons fail at rehabilitation, often worsening inmates' lives and disrupting families. Many prisoners, especially long-termers, aren't rehabilitated or reintegrated into society.

Myth 2: "Prison Labour is Education" Bullet Point 1: Prison education is poorly paid, leading inmates to choose repetitive, low-skilled work over courses that could improve literacy Bullet point 2: Despite some achieving qualifications, these are often in declining industries Bullet point 3: Outside, ex-prisoners face low wages, poor conditions, and job insecurity. Education should be accessible in the community, not just in prison

Bullet point 3: Prison work is monotonous and non-transferable, doing little to make outside employment appealing Bullet point 4: Ex-prisoners with low skills struggling to find jobs as these positions are outsourced or moved into prisons

Myth #1 "Prison Labour Helps to Normalise Work" - Bullet Point 1: The Government's 'working prions policy aims to get prisoners working 40 hours a week, but this is unachievable due to staff cuts and shortages. Bullet point 2: Work in prison, used as a control incentive, offers no autonomy or skill development.
