For-profit
prisons have created a “neo-slavery” in the US, according to
award-winning journalist Chris Hedges. Inmates work eight hours per day
for major corporations such as Chevron, Motorola, Nordstrom’s and
Target, yet only have the possibility of making up to $1.25 an hour. In
addition, companies that provide services like phone calls overcharge
prisoners on even the most basic services, making hundreds of millions
in profits annually. RT’s Ben Swann speaks to Hedges, who explains how
this shadowy system came into existence.
