Get to know your military industrial complex.. Unicor

[tridim]

AKA Federal Prison Industries, Inc.

http://www.unicor.gov/

Corporate overview:
It is the mission of Federal Prison Industries, Inc. to employ and provide skills training to the greatest practicable number of inmates confined within the Federal Bureau of Prisons; contribute to the safety and security of our Nation's correctional facilities by keeping inmates constructively occupied; produce market-price quality goods for sale to the Federal Government; operate in a self-sustaining manner; and minimize FPI's impact on private business and labor.

In other words:
Incarcerate thousands of non-violent criminals and force them to work at Unicor for slave wages. Then sell the products at an ultra-premium price to anyone with a government credit card, especially the military. Check out their products.. I'd estimate the price premium is about 4 times what normal people pay at Office Max.

This chair costs $699 delivered and $829 installed:

Would you pay $700 for a desk chair? Apparently the government will. It's easy when you have unlimited funds and a credit card bill that is sent directly to the tax payers.

Here's a lovely pressboard card table, $499 delivered, $589 installed:

There's a goldmine of corruption at the Unicor site. I had to stop looking because it made me feel sick.
