Description
Prisons are often viewed as unjust institutions, but the daily labour of incarcerated workers is largely overlooked. This book examines the reasons why people should care about prison labour and how prisoners have struggled to organize for better working conditions.
The fight for unionization among incarcerated workers is critical for both the labour movement and struggles for prison justice. By negotiating changes to working conditions, unions can also address the power dynamics within prisons themselves.
