Locked up and forgotten
Great land of the free
Content to pocket profits
From prison slavery
Incarceration – A life denied
Exploitation – Stripped of their rights
Rehabilitation – An afterthought
Privatization – Cheap labor bought
Locked away
In the chains of industry
No escape
From the throws of corporate greed
Dealing in lives
Our history repeats
Unquestioned
Rights of man forgotten
Great land of the free
Content to pocket profits
From prison slavery
Criminals turned victims
In the system we create
As long as it’s behind closed doors
It perpetuates
