BP Hires Prison Labor to Clean Up Spill While Coastal Residents Struggle

By Abe Louise Young

Hiring prison labor is more than a way for BP to save money while cleaning up the biggest oil spill in history. By tapping into the inmate workforce, the company and its subcontractors get workers who are not only cheap but easily silenced-and they get lucrative tax write-offs in the process.

Disabled Oil Rig Alarm Points to Human Failures in Gulf Oil Spill

Patrik Jonsson, The Christian Science Monitor: "As investigators probe the Deepwater Horizon oil rig accident, it's becoming clearer that human decisions regarding key safety equipment were part of the nation's largest oil spill. A disabled fire alarm and critical gas venting systems set to 'bypass' likely became part of a complex web of human errors that contributed to the Deepwater Horizon accident at the heart of the nation's worst oil spill."
