	When Harris was AG of California her office argued that imprisoned men should be kept in custody in order to be a source of cheap labour for the state.

	Sounds like control of the male body to me.

	In September 2014, Harris's office argued unsuccessfully in a court filing against the early release of prisoners, citing the need for inmate firefighting labor. When the memo provoked headlines, Harris spoke out against it, saying she was unaware that her office had produced the memo. Since the 1940s, qualified California inmates have the option of volunteering to receive comprehensive training from the Cal Fire in exchange for sentence reductions and more comfortable prison accommodations; prison firefighters receive about $2 a day, and another $1 when battling fires.<ref>https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/10/wow-keeping-hundreds-black-men-prison-past-release-date-cheap-labor-kamala-harris-hosting-black-male-get-vote-rally-miami/</ref><ref>https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/10/gorgeous-mosaic-kamala-harris-created-hundreds-black-men/</ref>		In September 2014, Harris's office argued unsuccessfully in a court filing against the early release of prisoners, citing the need for inmate firefighting labor.

			While some women are involved the fightfighting inmates are overwhelmingly men.
