ABSTRACT

This chapter analyzes the specific dynamics related to the production, appropriation and distribution of surplus labor by inmates enslaved in the SFCP1 producing commodities for both state and private masters. The goal here is provide a detailed theoretical analysis of prison commodity production, using the value analysis of state welfare produced in Chapter Three and the theory of the slave fundamental class process developed in Chapters One and Two. I hope that the concrete examples of the class analysis will add depth to the reader’s understanding of prison slavery.
