A Tory minister called for [ paying the disabled less than minimum wage ](
http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/oct/15/tory-message-disabled-lord-freud-minimum-wage ) , stating explicitly the right-wing goal of reducing the weak to desperation. The same goal is at work in [ making prisoners work for companies that pay them a pittance ](
https://stallman.org/archives/2013-may-aug.html#25_May_2013_(Free_US_workers_losing_jobs_to_prisoners) ) . This reduces jobs and wages for people outside prison, and more of them will end up in prison, making a vicious cycle.
