I'd love another source for this story, with the information presented clearly and not in the unreadable gonzo NYT style.

There's this one as well: http://inthesetimes.com/working/entry/14142/bulls_hit_farm_labor_scandal_targets_florida_homeless http://inthesetimes.com/working/entry/14142/bulls_hit_farm_l... And this one: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/06/05/119393/-Slavery-in-Florida-on-Jeb-s-Watch-Ignoring-Published-Reports-He-Permits-it-to-Continue http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/06/05/119393/-Slavery-in-... I'm pretty sure there are even older reports done in the 90s and 80s It's sad that even though we're in the 21st century, slavery still exists... in our own country. I'm not even counting forced prostitution. http://www.globalslaveryindex.org/ http://www.globalslaveryindex.org/

Yeah except when the US government found out, they pressed criminal charges against the people running the plant, and there was public outrage, outcry, and domestic media coverage. But other than that, yeah it's the same thing.
