Women Behind Bars: They were locked up and given prison jobs. Then they said guards raped and threatened them to ensure silence. Our latest story in the @AP prison labor series with @robinmcdowell

[The Associated Press @AP]

Prisoners work side-by-side with civilians at dangerous jobs from poultry plants to fighting wildfires. But they aren’t considered "employees."

When they’re hurt or killed, they can be denied basic rights and protections guaranteed to other U.S. workers. https://t.co/cLslPkChBt

Damn! An @amazon member is on this commission? What does @washingtonpost have to say about this?! Our series on slavery in the seafood industry & labor abuses in palm oil relied heavily on this trade data, obtained via @importgenius and Panjiva.

[Margie Mason @MargieMasonAP]

Important read: Investigative journalists use US import records to link products on our shelves to slave labor overseas. Now, Walmart, GM and Intel are among US companies pushing to hide that import data. ⁦⁦@APjoshgoodman⁩ spells it all out here. https://t.co/4DOsdJz5Jj

[Reveal @reveal]

More than 5,000 people served prison sentences at the Lone Rock stockade in Tennessee in the late 1800s. Many of them were Black men, sentenced to hard labor at the prison’s coal mine.

This photo shows the brutal power dynamics at the prison. https://t.co/FLg7ZtGA5U
