"On September 9, a series of coordinated work stoppages and hunger strikes will
take place at prisons across the country. Organized by a coalition of prisoner
rights, labor, and racial justice groups, the strikes will include prisoners
from at least 20 states—making this the largest effort to organize incarcerated
people in US history."

Exploiting prison labour also undercuts wages for everyone. Hopefully the US
will one day finally finish what they have left incomplete and actually end
slavery.
