re: ‘Grossly insufficient’: Judge blasts DOC-suggested fixes for Angola’s Farm Line

Can the mods ask this loser to stop trying to derail the thread?

Prisoners should get the same treatment as private sector employees, IMO. And y'all know I'm a 1960's Goldwater conservative. From OSHA Table 2. Minimum simplified rest break schedule: Heat index (oF) - Not temperature

Rest break durations and intervals 90 or greater. 10 minutes every two hours
95 or greater. 20 minutes every hour 100 or greater. 30 minutes every hour 105 or greater. 40 minutes every hour. ( I say no work)

Similar to the Wet Bulb guidelines we had in the military.

All of these workers are paid less than minimum wage

Yes and they also did not commit enough crimes to get sent to Angola.

All of these workers are denied breaks?

Where in the report does it does it say that Angola prisoners were denied breaks?

Prisoners were still taking breaks in direct sun, they said. The single tent was far too small and placed far away from work areas, while five-minute breaks didn’t allow anyone to cool down or sufficiently rest.

Oh they do get breakds. A 5 minute break sounds like the breaks that I got working on the family farm growing up. It also sounds like the breaks I got when I worked for the LSU AgCenter. When I worked for the LSU AgCenter my boss told us that if we wanted shade we could walk to the edge of the field and sit under the trees or to wear a sombrero instead of a baseball cap.

“These photographs depict a singular pop-up tent in an expansive field, lacking any nearby trees or buildings to provide cover, haphazardly propped up in a dirt road adjacent to several rows of low-growing crops,” Jackson wrote. “What appear to be two water coolers are visible within the tent, one sat directly on the loose dirt and another on a plastic crate approximately one foot off the ground. There are no places to sit within the tented area, save for upon the dusty, rock-strewn ground.”

So they do have access to water. Again breaks where you sit on the ground are common place for people who work outside for a living.


Also you did not answer my question about if you have ever worked a day outside doing manual labor in your life.

You'd think OSHA would be all over these employers.

OSHA is a joke. They only care about if employers showed videos the safety videos to their employees and if the paperwork at the home office is filled out correctly. A federal employee is not going to risk sweating or getting their shoes dirty to actually do their job.

Angola......where you go to get your post graduate training in criminal skills after undergraduate training in places like OPP

God damn youre retarded. Just go away already. No one gains anything from your low IQ takes.
