They are knowingly taking the risks of participating in the rodeo, and ultimately enjoying themselves with what they are doing. However, the issue at hand goes beyond the question of constitutionality. Controversy arise because their labor contracts have unequal bargaining powers that force inmates to enter an unfair and exploitative labor contract. Unequal bargaining position derive out of the fact that despite the apparent compensating differentials, the risks that inmates take outweigh their benefit. There is no equal bargaining power in the Angola Rodeo not only between the inmates and the prison system, but also in relative comparison with non-inmates. Bargaining power is unequal between inmates and the prison system because inmates are naturally at a subordinate position to the prison. They are forced to sign papers that transfers responsibility of any disasters not onto the authorities, but onto themselves.

Systematic subjugation could fairly exist, but it still cannot be a reason as to why an inmate should suffer an inferior bargaining that forces him to engage in a dangerous contract. Furthermore, the unequal bargaining position in…

Systems archetypes or generic structures embody the key to learning to see structures in our personal and organizational lives…
