Prisoners are America's Strongest Union [Gawker]
And, the original story from the NYT:
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/13/us/13prison.html?_r=1&ref=us
"Inmates in at least seven Georgia prisons have used contraband cellphones to coordinate a nonviolent strike this weekend, saying they want better living conditions and to be paid for work they do in the prisons."
Is it wrong to find this sort of inspirational?
ummm this is interesting! However, I honestly don't think they could really get paid for their work. After all isn't it jail?...just wondering!~Victoria :D
