Toxic Sentence: E-Waste, Prisons, Economic and Environmental Justice
Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition and the Computer TakeBack Campaign have developed an informational
report on UNICOR's federal inmate electronics recycling program that
discusses the lack of worker's rights and health and safety standards, and
describes a culture of intimidation and injustice. The report contains
quotes from inmates who have works on the disassembly lines, and a call to
action to support them and all of the workers in the electronics supply
chain.
