Referring to Taylor Farms as the Diarrhea Lettuce Company is very appropriate.

Meanwhile, the $1.50 per hour "wage" for prisoners really is slave labor.

Let's try to thoroughly end slavery - I know we can do that. And private prisons too, for that matter. There shouldn't be profit involved in incarcerating people - this is crazy.

Emphasis in bold is mine:

It turns out that Taylor Farms, the agricultural company widely believed to be behind the cyclospora outbreak currently raging throughout the US, is also heavily involved in modern-day forced labor.

In reporting from 2023 that was resurfaced this week on social media, the publication Prison Legal News revealed that Taylor Farms was contracting labor from the Arizona Department of Correction, Rehabilitation, and Reentry for the low, low price of just $4.75 an hour — far below the cost of a non-incarcerated worker the federal minimum wage. (And to be clear, that’s not the hourly wage paid to the inmate, which is capped at $1.50 in Arizona.)
