The prisoners at the Colorado Correctional Industries which supplies fish,and cheese for Whole Foods Markets make $1.50 an hour — still well under minimum wage but decent compared to what inmates in other states garner. After legislators last year passed one of the country's toughest laws against illegal immigrants. farmers see Colorado inmates as their possible salvation - the most viable replacements for the gaps once filled by illegal immigrants. Five farmers recently vouched for the program in a letter distributed to reporters Tuesday. The farmers, who declined to identify themselves, wrote that after illegal immigrants stopped coming to Colorado, "We have been pleasantly surprised at the serious motivation the inmates have shown to learn different skills and also their ability to hang in,"
Kaedra Peterson, 32, in prison for drug possession, one of thousands of inmates working at farms in Colorado, said her pay increased from 60 cents a day to $4 a day at the farm. She used to rely on money from her grandmother to buy basic necessities such as toothpaste and soap.

Six executives and managers of Tyson Foods Inc.were accused Wednesday of smuggling illegal Mexican immigrants into the country to work at the processing plants of the world's largest poultry company.
The federal indictment said one of the managers told an undercover agent the company would pay $200 for each illegal alien delivered.
The indictment, unsealed Wednesday, in U.S. District Court in Chattanooga, also said the managers helped the immigrants obtain false documents to work in the United States, hoping the cheap labor would help Tyson cut costs and meet production goals.The conspiracy allegedly reached 15 plants in nine states. Three of those charged were affiliated with Tyson's plant in Shelbyville. In 2001, Tyson Foods acquired IBP, Inc., the largest beef packer and number two pork processor in the U.S., for US$3.2 billion in cash and stock.

In June, Tyson won the bidding war against Pilgrim's Pride, agreeing to buy the maker of Jimmy Dean sausage and Ball Park hot dogs for $8.5 billion. Tyson Foods, headquartered in Arkansas also introduced the world to the Clintons.
This entire society, since it's founding has always run on slave labor and still does; daily, they incarcerate people and use them as slaves to make money off of this prison industry. If you think that we have abolished slavery in the states, you are terribly misinformed,
