Funny story. My mom was in the same prison as Diane Downs
So my best friend after high school had a dad that worked at Spectra-Physics as a electrical engineer. His other son worked there repairing supermarket scanners.
So Spectra-Physics wanted to outsource some labor. They went to the prison my mom was in. And she ended up fixing scanners for Spectra-Physics for a buck a hour. My best friends brother was my moms “boss”..
This took a really long to put together. It took me visiting my mom and getting a picture and him seeing that picture to go.. “Hey WTF, that is Suzy.”
So for the next year Nate was the bridge between me and my mom. I asked Nate to be totally honest with her. So I got letters from mother with Gems like “Nate said he bought you 50 dollars worth of “the white” and went out with Aaron and Jessie looking for skinheads to beat up.”..
But yes.. What my mom got paid per hour was not enough to buy a single packet of top raman in the canteen. A travesty.
That was a publicly traded company using prison labor for 1/15th what they would be paid on the outside world.
Blame the Mexicans for stealing your jobs.
