Will shoes ever be made in America?

you could always take advantage of the world’s largest slave labour force and have the manufacturing done inside prisons.

First, the definition of SLAVE;

  1. a person held in servitude as the chattel (movable property) of another
  2. one that is completely subservient to a dominating influence

Prisoners in the United States are not forced to labor, nor are they completely subservient to anyone. They are free to exercise the day away, read, watch television, play cards or damned near anything they want, for as long as they like, packing away three squares a day the whole time. If they are exemplary in their behavior, they may be given the opportunity to work in various shops to acquire job skills that may allow them to find employment “outside”.

The State of Oregon Oregons Correction Enterprise’s Fulfillment Center is an impressive example, in my opinion, of how “correction” should work. The Prison Blues work clothes line has found a worldwide market. They also manufacture, heavy equipment components, park & recreational equipment, office furniture, etc.

Hardly “slave” labor. Requirements of Admission and Remuneration.
