Just a reminder there's a nonzero chance any random company customer service line you call is manner by US slaves making less per hour than anyone but slaves ever have in the US.
Are prisons running call centers now..? I've never heard of this

Oh wow, so it's been a thing for a while now.
A quick search shows that it is still a thing. However, I'm reading stories from former service employees that are saying that (at least with their company) it was a program, and offered employment to prisoners when they got out, which is good. Not to pretend that it's a-ok to underpay them while they're in, but if it gives prisoners a legitimate avenue of employment upon release I can't shame it too harshly
