Modern Prison Labor in Alabama

The Alabama Department of Corrections (ADOC) currently farms out incarcerated people to work at private companies like McDonald's and Wendy's. While these individuals work in the "free world," the state garnishes 40% of their wages before taxes, leaving workers with as little as $200 for 80 hours of labor. The hosts characterize this as the modern continuation of the conditions that give the N-word its "weight."
