NEW: Alabama is farming out incarcerated people to work at hundreds of companies, including McDonald’s & Wendy’s.

The state takes 40% of wages and often denies parole to keep people as cheap labor.

Getting written up can lead to solitary confinement. This is modern day slavery.

Robert Horry wanted to come back to the Spurs while his daughter was in the hospital.

Gregg Popovich said no.

“Family is the most important thing.”

Pop just retired, but stories like this show why he’s always been more than a coach. 🖤
