Quoting: ^TrInItY^There is nothing in that article that states or suggests that inmates from another state are cleaning up oil in Florida. It deals with the inmate work policies of Louisiana DOC in connection to oil spill clean up efforts in Louisiana. |

If not then the cons will have the last laugh all the way to the bank only legally this time. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 10555 United States 07/24/2010 07:02 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | - So soon will be the first lawsuit of an inmate suing BP for wrongful death by corexit exposure, what happens when everyone wakes up and realizes every living soul on the entire planet has been poisoned by this event? TEOTWAWKI?!? Of course making more room for new prison inmates may be more important these days, actually who is exempt from this prison planet? AJ excluding! So they're "expendable"? Remember there are no survivors of the exxon valdez spill. Quoting: MorichesDailyIn 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. Work crews in Grand Isle, Louisiana, still stand out. In a region where nine out of ten residents are white, the cleanup workers are almost exclusively African-American men. The racialized nature of the cleanup is so conspicuous that Ben Jealous, the president of the NAACP, sent a public letter to BP CEO Tony Hayward on July 9, demanding to know why black people were over-represented in "the most physically difficult, lowest paying jobs, with the most significant exposure to toxins." Hiring prison labor is more than a way for BP to save money while cleaning up the biggest oil spill in history. By tapping into the inmate workforce, the company and its subcontractors get workers who are not only cheap but easily silenced—and they get lucrative tax write-offs in the process.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1047525 United States 07/24/2010 07:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If BP's use of prison labor remains an open secret on the Gulf Coast, no one in an official capacity is saying so. At the Grand Isle base camp in early June, I called BP's Public Information line, and visited representatives for the Coast Guard Public Relations team, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Louisiana Fisheries and Wildlife Department. They were all stumped. Were inmates doing shore protection or oil cleanup work? They had no idea. In fact, they said, they'd like to know—would I call them if I found out? |

I enjoy the bravado of your tongue and would agree with you if we lived in an honorable world. I have friends in jail. Lets call him #3. 3 could have ratted out everyone for a lighter term. Instead 3 would not make deals so inside jail became home for 3. 3 took a hit for everyone. Am I to say "lets work 3 to death"? when I love to have 3 back on my team? |
