FORCED LABOR FUNNIES
1. An AP investigation found that prison labor – often forced – is widespread in the US supply chain.
A sign reads 13th Amendment Farm with a caption saying former slave plantation. A white prison guard on a horse is watching Black inmates.
Inmate: Wait, are we doing time or going backwards in time?

2. These jobs can pay pennies and involve dangerous work with few safety protections
Prisoner with arm in machine at chicken processing plant. Machine has warning sign that says "Insert chicken and remove hand quickly"
Prisoner: I’m giving years of my life, but please not my arm.

3. Prisoner-made food is almost certainly at your local grocery store.
Bag of Perp Puffs with slogan ‘Shackle yourself to flavor!’
Box of Convict Crunch cereal

4. But alas, most shoppers have no idea.
Woman holding stick of butter with slogan ‘I can’t believe it’s made with forced labor!’
Woman – I can’t believe it either!
