I encourage everyone in America to read up on The Marshall Project if you’d like to know more about how prison labor impacts us all. Park benches, highway signs, eyewear, bedding in public universities—all made by prisoners. In 6 states, they make $0/hr for this labor.
My aunt sewed bras and panties for VS… in prison for 3¢ per day. Phone calls were $2. Pads were $5. Anyway!
