i used to work at GDLS as an engineer and we outsourced our harness manufacturing to prisons in north carolina where prisoners were paid like 8 cents per hour to do very technical manufacturing work for the military industrial complex

the people that sourced the materials to the prison workshops would tell us that the shops would go through way more electrical tape than other non-prison facilities and from my shady background i surmise they were rolling the tape up into a bar shape and melting the ends into sharp points because, well, prison

that's my story. hope you liked it. the end
