Short documentary about the exploitation of incarcerated workers in Alabama's prison system produced for More Perfect Union

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. Many are calling this slavery by any other name.
