Mexican prison factories push toward U.S. contracts
Mexican officials in Tamaulipas promote inmate shops as a source for furniture and other goods destined for the United States. They argue foreign firms would gain cheap labor and potential labeling to conceal origin, while critics cite undercutting unions and human-rights concerns. Local director Manuel del Riego notes interest from about 150 foreign firms, including U.S. companies, though details remain disputed. Prisoners earn 45 pesos daily, half of border-area workers, with firms saving on benefits.
