Labour in the Third World had become expensive with Fair Trade winning its cause. This meant now that cheaper work was sought for – and it was now the prison occupants who formed the manufacturing base for the worldwide economy - from clothes to car parts - respectable society prospered while the unpaid slavery toiled within their confinements.
Furthermore it was the universal government itself (working in alias through Phoenix) that had actually put the goods out there on the streets in the first place.
Entrapment was absolutely justified, they explained, as it was a means to sorting the citizens best suited for internment work - those who took the con, had lost their privilege in an instant of an ordinary life outside.
