Cac shyt, but pretty fukked up story overall :ld:

Folks out here calling it slavery :whew:

Y'all keep eating that fast food tho :sadcam:

From Reveal at the Center for Investigative Reporting.

The worst day of Brad McGahey’s life was the day a judge decided to spare him from prison.

McGahey was 23 with dreams of making it big in rodeo, maybe starring in his own reality TV show. With a 1.5 GPA, he’d barely graduated from high school. He had two kids and mounting child support debt. Then he got busted for buying a stolen horse trailer, fell behind on court fines and blew off his probation officer.

Standing in a tiny wood-paneled courtroom in rural Oklahoma in 2010, he faced one year in state prison. The judge had another plan.

“You need to learn a work ethic,” the judge told him. “I’m sending you to [Christian Alcoholics & Addicts in Recovery].”

Aside from daily cans of Dr Pepper, McGahey wasn’t addicted to anything. The judge knew that. But the Chicken Farm sounded better than
A few weeks later, McGahey stood in front of a speeding conveyor belt inside a frigid poultry plant, pulling guts and stray feathers from slaughtered chickens destined for major fast food restaurants and grocery stores.

There wasn’t much substance abuse treatment at CAAIR. It was mostly factory work for one of America’s top poultry companies. If McGahey got hurt or worked too slowly, his bosses threatened him with prison.

And he worked for free. CAAIR pocketed the pay.

:ohhh:I worked at a chicken plant for 8 years. We used to hire convicts all the time. They'd come in and be great workers then quit as soon as they got released. This explains why.

You got any stories, breh :sadcam:
McGahey wasn’t bothered by the sight of dead animals. He’d gutted catfish and skinned deer all his life. But the first time he stepped into the Simmons plant, the stench of chicken blood and feces was overpowering.

“I almost threw up,” he remembered.

Worst thing I seen happen was we had some members if Nuestra Familia. They run a military rank style and one of the guys was a llieutenant in the gang and we had a couple of surenos who started. He went up to them and nearly started a prison riot on the loading dock floor. I was their supervisor at the time working nights. Only person above me was a new manager and he was a foreigner whose English wasn't to good. So I had to sit these guys down and try to calm the situation.

A few weeks later the lieutenant was picked up in a paddy wagon at work.

Most of them were cool and good workers but once they got out of "rehab" they went back to what they were doing before.

I had one guy working for me and one night he was high out his mind so we had to have him drug tested. He refused to test but since we knew he was on drugs I had to drive him back to the half way house.:sadcam: A few years later he resurfaces in my life at the beef plant I work at now then a week later after starting work he shows up in the news cause he killed his wife and kids.

Some of them you just knew were crazy. Especially the ones from Pelican Bay. They were on a different level of crazy.
