Oh yeah, and in a blast from the past, Hickman Farms, one of Arizona’s largest egg producers, is going to house its leased convicts on its own property due to the coronavirus.

In an extraordinary move, the Arizona egg behemoth Hickman’s Family Farms is moving more than half of its inmate workforce out of prison and into company housing closer to its barns so that it can continue to use prison labor to produce eggs during the coronavirus pandemic.

Those workers are slated to be 139 women, longtime Hickman’s workers and minimum custody offenders who would otherwise be incarcerated at Perryville Women’s Prison in Goodyear, according to the Arizona Department of Corrections.

The Arizona Department of Corrections and Hickman’s decided that housing the women on-site was “necessary” during the pandemic “to control the potential spread of COVID-19 to thousands of other inmates,” ADC said in a news release Wednesday.

Yeah, I don’t care what they call it, it’s still indentured servitude and convict leasing in the name of cheap eggs for Arizona.
