Welcome to the Corporate Casket, a semiweekly series where bad businesses go to die. Today will discuss the use of prison labor and how it has seen massive growth in the United States since the 1970s. Companies as big as Victoria’s Secret, Walmart, and Starbucks have all been accused of utilizing labor from incarcerated people over the years. While many companies deny it, the exploitative practice of using prison labor for private profit is widespread in the United States and multiple other countries.
