In reporting from 2023 that was resurfaced this week on social media, the publication Prison Legal News revealed that Taylor Farms was contracting labor from the Arizona Department of Correction, Rehabilitation, and Reentry for the low, low price of just $4.75 an hour — far below the cost of a non-incarcerated worker the federal minimum wage. (And to be clear, that’s not the hourly wage paid to the inmate, which is capped at $1.50 in Arizona.)
Yes…? your tone sounds argumentative, but I’m not sure if you meant to come off that way. I wasn’t trying to imply that it is secret knowledge, just regular knowledge that not everyone knows about.
I was more frustrated that more people DON’T know this about our history.
