How long until the locked up immigrants will be forced to provide slave labor?

As farms, particularly corporate farms, are unable to find people to work the fields? I can see private prisons teaming up with corporate farms to provide uber cheap slave labor to work the fields. They will claim that the prisoners will need to earn their way but the only ones who will make money off it will be the corporations.

There's probably skilled Ag workers in the prison population and it's a "great" solution to the lack of migrant farm labor.

However, I hope the workers perform so badly that it turns out to be a massive headache for the Boss Man.

I can see it now, a program for immigrants that promises freedom - someday - once you pay for the cost of your imprisonment - once you pay a large fine for border crossing - Once you pay for whatever they think up.

"Work Hard! Someday, you will all be free to rejoin your family."

of course.
