MI: prison industry in the US

1. The passage begins with an example: A private firm of military garment recently lost a huge contract, because it failed to compete with a prison-based state-owned garment-making company.  This was due to a law that favors prison-based state-owned company. The runner of the private firm says this is unfair.

2. As seen from the above example, prison industry is facing more and more critiques among the public.  The fundamental reason is that some law requires that US defense (or other governmental headquarters) buy materials/products from state-owned prison-based companies, if the price is comparable to that offered by private competitors.  This forms an unfair competition. On the other hand, the labor in prison industry is very cheap, placing the prison industry an inherent advantage over private competitors.  Given the present socioeconomic background and the public concern about unemployment, it makes sense that prison industry is facing critiques among the public.

3. about prison industry: back to 1930s.... The prison industry is conducive to social well-being in multiple aspects:
(a) doing labor work largely benefits the inmates in that they not only acquire useful skills/techniques that will help them in future career but also have their mind shaped so that they are less likely to commit crime again. Statistical data supports this notion.
(b) the prison industry produces products with low costs (of course, low quality compared to general industry), and this kind of cheap products have some market demand. So the prison industry has a reason to survive in the market, partly to combat the low-labor Chinese products.

4. in the prison industry: a shift to green energy
Inmates are currently being trained to perform works related to new energy... (some examples) This training will allow the inmates to have necessary skill set in finding a job after getting out of the prison.
Some energy company worries about the competition from those prison-based firms, and calls for legislative regulation.

谢谢小白~

速度：378字那段没读完，其余还好。感觉讲了很多专利
越障：讲了失去订单，引到监狱劳工上面了。讲这个行业是监狱劳工做减少成本，后来说了FPI,讲了它的历史，他的运作，他的不利，目前需要考虑的。最后又扯到合同，说想不到监狱劳工能作出这种贡献。对不对都不管了，今天一下子做了三份累死了。前几天工作的没法做小分队。呼。。。歇会

越障九分半钟。。。
美国私人企业与监狱之间的竞争，先举了个例子，说监狱把某个公司的合同抢走了，使得那个公司裁员。
一个什么私人企业，从自己原来的工业领域，转到了其他的领域
中间的没看懂。。。。。。
私人企业的发展受到打击，好像又有人说，私人企业应该停止和监狱竞争
监狱公司的好处，帮助了犯人学习技能，回到社会后能够更好的生活
但监狱公司也面对困难，生产的东西少了
最后有个人说不能够相信本该对社会造成债务的犯人，却通过获得本该是正常工人的工作，并的到了进步

。。。昨天点错，去了第二期小分队。。。。。。

越障练习:第二遍 08'20
1）FPI embodies a political concern
-bearing an advantage in labor cost
-too competitive to be limited by bills
2) FPI is unfavored and gradually weakened by bill.
    Price really matters now.
3) A new issue arises: to give FPI a chance steps into renewable industry.
-Job skills
4) After all, FPI factors into lower recommit rate, but public wisdoms resist the idea.
-Burea of Prison
-Tight ecomomy context  
-FPI seizes the employment opp of general citizens.
感想：记不住更多的细节，回头再看吧。
