BP Hires Prison Labor to Clean Up Spill While Coastal Residents Struggle

~

the first few days after BP's Deepwater Horizon wellhead exploded, spewing crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico, cleanup workers could be seen on Louisiana beaches wearing scarlet pants and white t-shirts with the words "Inmate Labor" printed in large red block letters.

Coastal residents, many of whom had just seen their livelihoods disappear, expressed outrage at community meetings; why should BP be using cheap or free prison labor when so many people were desperate for work?

The outfits disappeared overnight.

WONDER IF BP HAS HEAVY INVESTMENTS IN PRISON INDUSTRY STOCK AND IS USING PRISONER LABOR THROUGHOUT THE SPIL???
