We increasingly rely on prison labor for everything from agriculture to fire fighting.

Only USA does. The only country that did similar things was USSR. It was. Now USA the only is.

Even EU has better standards of living AND not use slave labour of prisoners.

Our semiconductor industry is failing.

Assuming you are from USA, your semiconductor industry is just fine.

Americans are the most propagandized people on earth.

I would think that's North Korea, but that's kinda a given.

The USSR by all accounts decreasingly relied on prison labor after WW2 and Stalinism ended. By the 60s, forced labor was anecdotic, and the conditions of people in the gulag system (which shifted from forced labor during Stalinism to mostly reeducation afterwards) were better than those in normal prisons to the point of prison being a punishment to rebellious gulag workers.
