Prison labor, an invisible workforce of the U.S. economy
Incarcerated workers produce $2 billion in goods and $9 billion in services every year. But not all of the incarcerated are paid for their labor, which can benefit people inside and outside a prison's walls. Correspondent Luke Burbank looks at ways in which indentured servitude is still legal in the U.S., and talks with incarcerated workers at Eastern Oregon Correctional Institution who make the popular denim workwear brand Prison Blues.

Been reading a lot of US History. Starting w indentured servitude and debters prison, there has always been a low-wage/chain gang work component to prisons in this country. Southern states — #Georgia included — still don’t pay prisoners. Terrible history of prison labor. youtu.be/v9TgYK9z1Ik
