"In the years after Haystack Mountain started making cheese, one of the company's biggest problems was finding a reliable source of goat milk. Jim Schott's small farm couldn't produce enough on its own, and every outside supplier eventually went out of business."
Any competitor will get out of business if you have to pay your forced labor only 1$ a day.
- _Marak_ 9y agoThat's not how the timeline of the article reads. The prison was the last resort after the other suppliers went out of business. From the article, it says they were weeks away from no cheese at all. The prison specifically stepped up the market demand. They didn't push other's out of the market. Haystack is paying market price for the milk. They are paying full value for the milk and they aren't paying the labor costs of the prisoners. They are buying milk.
