Well if Bloomberg has his way people would be in prison for drinking Big Gulps through plastic straws. So using prison labor doesnt seem all that nefarious.

And?

Pause. Do consider that many in prison have families on the outside; they want to support their children so they work.

Can't decide if this is good or bad. What would happen if Trump did this?

I see .... a true slave owner at work

WTF I love Bloomberg now

The prisoners live off the taxpayers!

Greedy billionaire too cheap to pay for campaign workers to do the same job What a joke. Drop out Mike2020

A stunning example of how out of touch he is.

Very interesting

Don't worry they stopped and frisked them before they entered the call center.
