I like that they infringe so heavily on my privacy that they legally cannot display their site 😅

Thank you as well. I'll use the second one because archive.org can be a little slow.

Edit: I have no idea why, but it won't let me change the link. Maybe it's time limited. I'll put it in the body.

Cobrachicken ,

Thank you for that fast reaction!

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be letting me edit it. I save and it just reverts. Oh well, hopefully people will see these comments.

It's a local news station from Indiana, and gdpr is a European law,.it was probably cheaper to block the EU than to redesign the site for gdpr compliance

Inmates plant, care for, and harvest the crops. Then, the fruits of their labor are donated to local food pantries.

Nobody appears to be profiting off their labor and there's no mention it's forced. So it looks to me like volunteer work going to charities. A productive use of time, prisoner or not.

I have a lot of problems with prison labor but this isn't one of them.

"It's kind of nice for they [sic] because they feel like they feel like they're giving back to the communities," said Overseer Eddie Gilbert. "It gives them a sense of accomplishment and I enjoy it also. It kind of gets me out and about with my whip."

Stop equating chattel slavery to forced labor under the 13^th^

Easiest block ever. If you choose to remain willfully ignorant of the prison industrial complex and how they operate to make unscrupulous profit by filling cells with the help of a racist justice system and backed by the fascist Republican party, then there is no help for you.
