A private company that got cheap labor by contracting with the state to hire prisoners cannot be sued for discrimination against a disabled worker, according to a ruling by a federal appeals court. The prisoner is not an “employee” of the private company, therefore he does not have the protections under the Americans with Disabilities Act…William Castle was in Arizona state prison…The state contracts out its prisoners…Castle worked at Eurofresh, a private company…that sells hydroponic tomatoes…Castle felt “intolerable pain and swelling” in his left ankle, an old injury…When he asked if he could take short breaks…Eurofresh said he would be fired…He sued Eurofresh and the state for violating the Americans with Disabilities Act by refusing to accommodate his disability…
