Ok, for clarification sake...
My understanding of the first article is that:
1) the people who are working are people who are NOT currently in prison, but are paroled.
2)It is up to them as to whether or not they want the jobs.
3)It is up to the farmers as to whether or not they want to hire them or hire nonparolees (but, I am assuming they are encouraged to hire the parolees, or there is no point to the whole thing).
4)They are paid $7.25-$9.00 per hour.
Is any of this incorrect?
The prisons profiting is a different issue to me (but yes, I get how it fits).
Personally, I am more pissed about undocumented workers possibly being charged with felonies and given punishments of up to 15 years in prison and $250,000 in fines.
