Alabama is keeping prisoners in jail longer to work in local businesses...
As they state in the video, if the Alabama Parole Board followed its own guidelines, it would grant parole in ~80% of cases. Instead, that number dropped to just 8% in 2023.
“Alabama is farming out incarcerated people to work at hundreds of companies, including McDonald’s and 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.”
