New York City owns and operates a public cemetery on Hart Island, which has been tended by prison labor. Now prisoners are being asked to dig mass graves.
Yeah this is some especially fucked up up shit. I get that the bodies need to go somewhere and they can only open so many pop-up morgues. This is a purely economic decision, prison labor is expendable and cheap and the city already owns the land, whereas building more crematoriums is expensive
