In U.S. state and federal prisons, inmates work for little to no pay and corporations are able to purchase prison labor for a low price, and then make profits from contracts with U.S. military. Should large corporations be allowed to profit from prison labor? Should prisoners have the same workplace protections as other workers? Why or why not?

Canvas Web Activities must be completed by the posted deadline listed on the syllabus.
To obtain any points, the student must complete/submit the activity on Canvas by the posted deadline in the syllabus. It will not be accepted late under any circumstances. You will not be able to access the activities after the posted deadline. At a minimum…. Responses to activities should be at least THREE fully detailed paragraphs. Each paragraph should have at least 6- 8 sentences. They should be well thought out, organized, clearly presented and checked for basic spelling and grammar. I am looking to see that you fully understand and can apply the course concepts. REMEMBER…. MINIMAL EFFORT EQUALS MINIMAL GRADE (20-30 POINTS). IF YOU WISH TO EARN THE MAXIMUM POINTS, YOU MUST SHOW MAXIMUM EFFORT AND MASTERY OF THE COVERED CONCEPTS AND MATERIALS. (Basic grading rubric: Below Expectations: 0-10 points, Needs Improvement: 11-20 points, Meets Expectations: 21- 30 points, Exceeds Expectations: 31-40 points.) A more detailed rubric will be posted on Canvas. Points will be deducted for not meeting the basic requirements. Please do not procrastinate.
