As good a definition for the original term as any:

This story in Oklahoma and dealing with a privately contracted prison facility is by no means at the level of atrocity as that series of war crimes, described above. However, to individuals? I'm not really sure that difference really holds a distinction to their own reality from day to day.
Not cool...but the details are worse.

This is the problem, I fear, with using inmates for labor. I have no problem with the concept, because people in prison SHOULD be working at something and not sitting on their butts playing gang-banger in a new setting, for years on end. If we would complain there are people in prison who don't belong there, I may even agree...and lets work to get those ones OUT, but working the ones who deserve what they are getting is also a great idea to me.
Having said that....Working inmates as slave labor, or sexual tools for area businesses is what I believe we rightfully call serious criminal activity. In this case the Tulsa Police Department DID start an investigation and the real cops are who put an apparent end to this. The 'private prison' is who may have known a few years ago and kept running female inmates right into sexual predators for their 20 pieces of silver.
Prisons, like police work, are one area I think is too critical to get right and FAR too harmful when it goes wrong to EVER trust in the hands of those making direct and personal profit in the enterprise. It just adds too much temptation to outright corruption or worse, like this. At least in my view.
The phrase "comfort women" is a controversial term that refers to approximately 200,000 women who were recruited as prostitutes by the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II. Many of the young women were forced into servitude and exploited as sex slaves throughout Asia, becoming victims of the largest case of human trafficking in the 20th century.

TULSA (CN) - A private prison company knew a business owner sexually abused women in a work-release program, but kept sending women because the prison company received kickbacks a woman claims in court.
Cassie Chambers sued Avalon Correctional Services dba Turley Residential Center, a profit-seeking private prison, on Nov. 18 in Tulsa County Court.

Those defendants are Abbas Kazami Kia, QFA Royalties LLC, A Kia Best Sub Enterprises LLC, and Best Sub Enterprises Inc. They ran a Quizno's sandwich shop that closed down after police raided it, Chambers says.
She claims the private prison company knew as early as November 2011 "that Kia had sexually battered a program participant," but kept supplying him with women because "Avalon-TRC earned a kickback on wages paid to women in the work release program."
