This week, The Oklahoman and Reveal News, a California-based investigative journalism group, both released independent reports that examine how Oklahoma drug courts are sending people to work long days and nights in chicken slaughterhouses – with no compensation – to help "recover" and "rehab" from drug addiction and other non-violent crimes.
Naturally, the programs are administrated and organized by non-certified, Christian-based organizations that promote "faith-based recovery." The programs require laborers to attend church, sleep six to a room on bunk beds, and do other important things like help remodel their bosses houses in exchange for room and board.
