I'd go further than that, using Jesus's name to enslave and abuse for the benefit of private companies is nothing short of blasphemous.

I have a lot of time for Jesus's teachings, but no time for institutions using his name as an instrument of control and abuse. Would the man who famously threw the merchants and money-changers out of the temple and went to his death with the intention of attaining forgiveness for all mankind want abusive slave camps built in his name? The mental gymnastics required to make that work would be worthy of Olympic gold. I hope the people behind this awful system really do have a powerful spiritual/religious experience and seek forgiveness for the horrors they've inflicted on their fellow human beings.
