Objectives

To reveal how unpaid and low-wage prison labor supplies state healthcare. Moreover, it will describe the recent 2016 and national 2018 prison labor work strikes within the construct of twentieth and twenty-first century slavery by revealing how prison plantation slavery existed on Texas prison plantations through the 1980s. The talk also shows how prisoners resisted by using the law to document their abuse, which resulted in the longest running civil rights trial in U.S. history at that time, the Ruiz v Estelle trial 1978-1980.
