[DOC] Report Released on Abuses of Government-Owned Prison Industry in E-Waste Recycling

This exposé features prisoners speaking out for the first time about deplorable health and safety conditions within e-waste recycling factories run by UNICOR, also known as Federal Prison Industries... Inmates have reported various injuries, respiratory and other problems... Prisoners Have No Protections Against Health Hazards or Worker Rights... UNICOR Undercuts Responsible business. UNICOR is not bound by the same labor, safety, minimum wage and environmental standards and oversight as the private recyclers it competes with.
