I'm not surprised at all, especially because I feel like a prisoner when I'm there. There's a kind of Stockholm syndrome occurring in the complex; you'll hear all the things you can't do or they'll fire you.
"Don't get caught using the internet during the day, there's no breaks between calls, it's back to back, don't get caught using your phone unless it's an emergency then ask for permission to respond to emergency, watch your time, we're a fun loving group, the calls never stop, it's a good place to work, I was told to be more positive or I'd scare you away, shine and they'll hire you for real, we hope you stay."
A shadow passes over us, but I nod.
I mentioned something briefly to Katie as I read this article. "50 cents an hour for the 'opportunity' is slave labor. More so because the vast majority of prisoners are people of color." but then I realized that it's not any better for me.
