The United States of America has a dark reality hidden within its prison system.

These prisoners and their labor supply products to some of America's most popular companies, including fast-food restaurants, grocery stores, and large retail chains. In this episode I discuss the AP story on prison labor, the 13th amendment and why this is legal.
