Cori Bush says about wealth in Congress.
Managing editor of Prison Legal News and executive director of the Human Rights Defense Center Paul Wright discusses the prevalence of prison labor in the American food system, the outsize role of Angola prison in this labor, and how foreign prison labor is cited as a human rights violation while the the US happily exports its own prison labor products.
