Nearly two-thirds of people incarcerated in state and federal prisons work — almost 800,000 people. Many report receiving job assignments without training or proper safety equipment, causing preventable injuries. Wages are so low their families have to cover basic necessities. https://t.co/RkvpNBdUkj — PolitiTweet.org

Now, incarcerated workers generate at least $2 billion worth of goods and $9 billion in prison maintenance services every year. On average, most workers are paid between 15 and 52 cents per hour. This exploitation helps subsidize the costs of our bloated prison system. — PolitiTweet.org

To combat this exploitation, we need: ▪️ Prison work to be fully voluntary ▪️ Access to fair wages, training and safety ▪️ Investment in labor programs providing marketable skills ▪️ To abolish the 13th Amendment loophole allowing forced labor as punishment for a crime — PolitiTweet.org
