Chuds pretending to be scared of criminals and the poors while regularly frequenting restaurants run by indigent prisoners. Treats are god. God is treats. All hail the mighty Wendy’s whose chicken sandwiches transcend ideology.

A prison in Salt Lake County, Utah used to have an inmate-run restaurant open to the general public called “Serving Time”

Anyone have a link to the lawsuit? I want to see which companies are listed.

I found it linked in some articles, e.g. here in the first paragraph: https://alabamareflector.com/2023/12/13/lawsuit-alleges-alabama-prisons-using-forced-labor/

Skimming through it, I see these companies named as defendants:

franchisees of McDonald’s, KFC, Wendy’s, and Burger King; Bama Budweiser, a distributor of Anheuser-Busch products; poultry and meat processors including Gemstone Foods, Koch Foods, and Southeastern Meats; Paramount Services, a linen company; and manufacturing and engineering employers Masonite, Cast Products, Ju-Young, Hwaseung, SL Alabama, and Progressive Finishes.

This kind of thing has been an open secret for a while. I used to work at a chain grocery store and once had to order a new batch of uniforms. They came from a distribution center that was connected to another distribution center that was connected to something called like Corrective Workplace Supplies or something. (Don't remember the exact name). Well turns out that was a subsidiary of a private prison in Oklahoma.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
