The production of hand sanitizer might not be the only way the state of New York exploits mass incarceration for its benefit
Photo: Lev Radin/Pacific Press/Shutterstock As the novel coronavirus COVID-19 proliferates, the good people of New York find themselves in want of an everyday hygiene product. They need hand sanitizer, but demand outstrips supply. Price-gougers have thus begun selling the product for outrageously inflated prices online, and that demands an official response from state officials. Governor Andrew Cuomo has accordingly waded into the mess. His solution? New York state-branded hand sanitizer.
The governor’s solution to price-gouging is not a bad one. Other states should consider similar solutions, as the federal government is obviously, woefully unequipped to deal with the pandemic on its hands. But there is a dark underside to Cuomo’s hand sanitizer. It was made by prison labor.
