Michael Bloomberg’s presidential campaign used prison labor to make phone calls to prospective voters.

The campaign used a third-party vendor to contract a company called ProCom, which has two call centers operating from state prisons in Oklahoma, reported The Intercept. Prisoners housed at one or more prisons were contracted to make calls on behalf of the former New York City mayor’s 2020 campaign.
