New York City owns and operates a public cemetery on Hart Island, which has long been tended by prison labor. Now, prisoners are being asked to dig mass graves.
Yeah this is some especially fucked up up shit. I get that the bodies need to go somewhere and they can only open so many pop-up morgues. This is a purely economic decision, prison labor is expendable and cheap and the city already owns the land, whereas building more crematoriums is expensive
