Take a moment to read this investigative journalism piece. Men sent to work at a chicken processing plant for “treatment” rather than go to prison. Chicken processing plants have high incidences of on the job injuries. Program participants that got injured on the job were sent to prison while the owners collected the workers compensation payments. Oh, and the husband and wife got $168,000 a year salaries and the processing company furnished someone to make $250,000 a year as a “consultant.” While this was purportedly a “rehab” program, it is no different from the client stories we hear from workers in meat packing and chicken processing plants across Texas.
