Meet the Companies That Furnish American Prisons

The Greene Space, the non-profit advocacy group Worth Rises, have launched a new series about the business side of the prison industry, everything from prison labor to companies who contract with prisons to provide healthcare, food and other services. Who profits when people get put away?

This week we talk to Bianca Tylek, Worth Rises’s executive director, and WNYC/Gothamist reporter George Joseph, about the equipment and supplies corporations that provide nearly everything used in prisons and jails from desks and uniforms to restraint jackets and tear gas. 

EVENT, 7pm: Sign up for Tuesday's live virtual panel discussion on prison equipment HERE
