The Dirty Truth About Working While In Prison at $0.45 an Hour

What does it really mean to work in prison? For 19 years, I took on every job you can imagine—from scrubbing human waste for $0.45 an hour to becoming a journeyman electrician. In this video, I talk about the hidden economy of prison labor, how jobs are bought and sold like commodities, and why the system either breaks people—or gives them a reason to rebuild.

Is prison labor rehabilitation or modern-day slavery? That depends on who gets the opportunity—and who gets exploited.
