Not including incarcerated people in the unemployment statistics is a scam
Discussion
How so?
Because they don't have jobs. Pretty straight forward.
I don’t see the utility of including incarcerated people in the unemployment figure. That’s the point. They are in time out. They cannot work. I think comparing the ratio of unemployed and incarcerated could be interesting.
Describing the mass incarceration system as time out might be the understatement of the century
What are we talking about? Economics? Penology? Unemployment rate is an economic figure referring to the unused, available labor.
I don’t understand what you’re working toward here.
In that specific comment I am talking penology. In general with this post I am talking economics and sociology.
