A hidden path to America’s dinner tables begins here, at an unlikely source – a former Southern slave plantation that is now the country’s largest maximum-security prison.

One line in and already sounds like a horrible parody of the states that we'd call too on the nose

It’s unfortunately constitutionally protected to use prisoners as slaves, so this is a nationwide problem.
