Kim Kelly: "Incarcerated workers are part of the labor movement"

“Incarcerated workers are a part of the working class,” award-winning journalist Kim Kelly says. And we are “not telling the real history of labor in this country if [we’re] not focusing on the organizing efforts and the labor of people who are in prison.”

Kelly recently joined Mansa Musa on an episode of Rattling the Bars exploring the history of labor exploitation and labor organizing in America’s prison system. To commemorate Labor Day 2025, TRNN is sharing Musa's full, unaired interview with Kelly.
