Faced with a shortage of hand sanitizer, New York state has turned to an alternative source for the highly sought-after product: prison slave labor.

The state aims to make 100,000 gallons per week, according to governor Andrew Cuomo.

The practice of sending inmates to manufacture sanitizer is making headlines Monday, when it was revealed that New York State was putting inmates to work making the popular anti-bacterial hand sanitizer in a New York City jail.

The goal is to have prison slave labor manufacture sanitizer to make up for the statewide shortage.

Shipments from the Great Meadow Correctional Facility in Washington County has already been bottled and is expected to be delivered to schools and municipalities.

“When I hear the stories of the life lessons learned through this work, it makes me want to cry,” said Greg Davis, a United Nations special rapporteur on torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment. “The fact that Governor Cuomo is bragging that the product is made conveniently in New York without mentioning prison slave labor is simply unacceptable.”

Since 1955, the United States has used prisoners in private prisons to produce more than $8 billion worth of goods. New York state in 2015 alone used over $22 million worth of prison labor to produce just one product: feminine hygiene products. Prisoners have been forced to work in sweatshops for high-level brands like Kimberly-Clark, Proctor and Gamble, and others.
