The AP found that U.S. prison labor is in the supply chains of goods being shipped all over the world via multinational companies, including to countries that have been slapped with import bans by Washington in recent years. For instance, the U.S. has blocked shipments of cotton coming from China, a top manufacturer of popular clothing brands, because it was produced by forced or prison labor. But crops harvested by U.S. prisoners have entered the supply chains of companies that export to China.

While prison labor seeps into the supply chains of some companies through third-party suppliers without them knowing, others buy direct. Mammoth commodity traders that are essential to feeding the globe like Cargill, Bunge, Louis Dreyfus, Archer Daniels Midland and Consolidated Grain and Barge – which together post annual revenues of more than $400 billion – have in recent years scooped up millions of dollars’ worth of soy, corn and wheat straight from prisons, which compete with local farmers.

...Incarceration was used not just for punishment or rehabilitation but for profit. A law passed a few years [after the formal end of the convict-leasing system in 1928] made it illegal to knowingly transport or sell goods made by incarcerated workers across state lines, though an exception was made for agricultural products. Today, after years of efforts by lawmakers and businesses, corporations are setting up joint ventures with corrections agencies, enabling them to sell almost anything nationwide.

Civilian workers are guaranteed basic rights and protections by OSHA and laws like the Fair Labor Standards Act, but prisoners, who are often not legally considered employees, are denied many of those entitlements and cannot protest or form unions.

“They may be doing the exact same work as people who are not incarcerated, but they don’t have the training, they don’t have the experience, they don’t have the protective equipment,” said Jennifer Turner, lead author of a 2022 American Civil Liberties Union report on prison labor.

Hanahaki must be the worst with states, since there's 99% possibility for the flower to be the state flower, like, you just know that everyone around you would know who you like.

Now, talking about it, Louisiana loves Florida, loves him enough that every time his friend is with Mother Nature, he chokes. Slightly pink petals falling around on the floor, blood adding to their color and all he can do is hurt, since a state cannot die, he'd just come back again.

He dissappears once a year, when sickness gets to him, making it impossible to talk, to breath, and silently dies hidden, just to come back to life in Gov's office.

Orange blossom is already slowly coming back, bitter and deadly.

1934 –Bonnie and Clyde 

Bonnie Elizabeth Parker (October 1, 1910 – May 23, 1934) and Clyde Chestnut (Champion) Barrow (March 24, 1909 – May 23, 1934) were an American criminal couple who traveled the Central United States with their gang during the Great Depression.

The couple were known for their bank robberies, although they preferred to rob small stores or rural funeral homes. Their exploits captured the attention of the American press and its readership during what is occasionally referred to as the "public enemy era" between 1931 and 1934. 

 They were ambushed by police and shot to death in Bienville Parish, Louisiana. They are believed to have murdered at least nine police officers and four civilians.

The 1967 film Bonnie and Clyde, directed by Arthur Penn and starring Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway in the title roles, revived interest in the criminals and glamorized them with a romantic aura.

In a July 31 Letter to the Editor, Demetrius Minor, the National Manager of Conservatives Concerned About the Death Penalty criticizes the Louisiana Pardon Board decision to decline review of clemency petitions filed by nearly every death-sentenced prisoner in Louisiana. The clemency applications were filed after Governor Edwards publicly announced that he opposed the death penalty. The petitions raise claims of intellectual disability, severe mental illness, racial injustice, and prosecutorial misconduct, among other longstanding, systemic problems with the application of the death penalty in Louisiana. Minor writes that “Governor John Bel Edwards must now take action to ensure that the door to redemption remains open.” In his letter, Minor discussed how his views about the death penalty evolved over time. “I grew up believing in the death penalty,” he said, “But over time, I began to question capital punishment as fundamentally at odds with the possibility of redemption and restoration. I also came to understand that being ‘pro-life’ means cherishing all life.” He attributes this change to his experience assisting in worship services for incarcerated people during his ministerial internship at the Pentecostals of Alexandria. “My eyes were opened to the profound yearning for redemption among the incarcerated people who joined us in praise and worship,” he said. Minor also addresses the life experiences of death-sentenced prisoners. “I have come to see that those on death row are not ‘the worst of the worst.’ Rather, they are the ‘least of these,’ those we as Christians are called upon to protect. They are people with intellectual disability, serious mental illnesses, and those who were too poor to afford zealous trial attorneys. Most are survivors of unspeakable childhood trauma.”

Season eight was a steaming dumpster of plots and quick character building activities while setting up the "then they lived happily ever after" but they truly truly did House and Wilson's relationship justice in the end I will say that.

I was so mad at how the writers of the show clearly wanted to go one way with House and Cuddy's relationship, while the producers and actors disagreed on actually getting there, and that will be a loss to the show really. Even if they didn't last they deserved a more heartfelt attempt at a relationship after six seasons and two decades of apparent history. Alas!

House finally finally changed and became the man he wanted to be, because of Wilson's death. Nothing before that, or perhaps everything before that, prepared him for who he was meant to be. He gave of himself willingly for Wilson's benefit and not his own repeatedly. And when Wilson is gone he has no life, no job, but he knows he'll be ok. Despite this being the one thing that hurts the most. Because in the end all his subconscious people were wrong. He doesn't still need the puzzle or the meds or anything.

He's not going to lose it and kill himself when Wilson does eventually die. He's going to grieve like he's seen patients families do, and then he's going to live for Wilson for as long as he's got left of his own clock.

He's got no money and he can't get in trouble with the law lest he blow his cover but he'll pass the time. Who knows... Maybe he just goes from town to town helping people with their simple ailments like he knows Wilson enjoyed. No puzzles no excitement just fixing people up and moving along.

Children in the dominant society commit all kinds of heinous crimes and don't even see a handcuff. Meanwhile Black children are sent to Angola by these WS judges.

As of 2019, Black children were 4.4 times more likely to be incarcerated compared to white children, according to the Sentencing Project, a research and advocacy organization focused on decarceration efforts.

Dozens of jailed kids, nearly all of them Black, must be removed from a former Louisiana death row...

The children have been incarcerated at the Louisiana State Penitentiary, the nation's largest adult maximum security prison.

A judge said dozens of jailed kids must be moved out of a former Louisiana death row prison unit.

The Louisiana State Penitentiary is the largest adult maximum security prison in the country.

The kids faced lengthy detainment in their cells and diminished education, testimony revealed.

A group of incarcerated children, most of them Black, spent nearly a year jailed in a former death row wing of the Louisiana State Prison.

Court testimony later brought to light concerning conditions: They were forced to stay in their cells for sometimes an entire day. One child was pepper-sprayed for throwing liquid at a guard. And they were denied adequate education.

Louisiana State is the country's largest adult maximum security prison. It is sometimes called Angola, the name of the old prison — a slave plantation — where the new one now sits.

Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards first ordered the kids moved to Angola last summer. Months of legal battles followed.

Now, after a year, a federal judge has intervened, ruling Friday that the kids must be moved out of the prison by September 15.  

"For almost 10 months, children — nearly all Black boys — have been held in abusive conditions of confinement at the former death row of Angola — the nation's largest adult maximum security prison," David Utter, lead attorney on the case, wrote in a statement on Friday. "We are grateful to our clients and their families for their bravery in speaking out and standing up against this cruelty."

While rates of US youth incarceration have fallen in recent decades — declining 77 percent between 2000 and 2020 — racial disparities persist. As of 2019, Black children were 4.4 times more likely to be incarcerated compared to white children, according to the Sentencing Project, a research and advocacy organization focused on decarceration efforts.

In his ruling, the judge said prison officials had violated the Fourteenth Amendment and that the children had faced cruel and unusual punishment, according to the ACLU of Louisiana.

The ruling came after a hearing last month revealed officials detained the children in their cells for long periods of time, used pepper spray in certain cases, and limited their access to education.

Testimony from a guard at the facility and an expert witness revealed officials held several children in their cells for anywhere between 14 and 22 hours, depending on the day, local news station WWNO reported. State law prohibits guards from holding children in their cells for longer than eight hours outside of sleeping hours. 

Video footage played at the hearing also revealed a guard had used pepper spray against a child after he threw liquid from his cell toilet, according to WWNO. Submitted testimony from the children involved in the case also indicated that their required access to education had declined since moving to the Louisiana State Penitentiary. 

Following the judge's ruling, the Office of Juvenile Justice said in a statement their office has taken "extraordinary measures" to ensure the children maintained access to education and had suitable living conditions.

"While we disagree with the court's ruling today and will be seeking an emergency writ, we will continue to explore every option available to us that ensures the safety of staff, community members, and youth in our care," the statement read.
