Not A Good Look: Michael Bloomberg Admits To Exploiting Prison Labor To Make 2020 Campaign Calls

Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg says his presidential campaign has cut ties with a firm that used prisoners to make calls on the candidate's behalf.

Bloomberg said his campaign used a third-party vendor to contract a call center company named ProCom to conduct calls for his 2020 presidential run. When a report by The Intercept noted that two of the company's Oklahoma centers operate out of prisons, Bloomberg said his campaign immediately ended the arrangement, "Earlier today, a news outlet accurately reported that a subcontractor for one of our vendors was using prison workers to make phone calls on behalf of my campaign. After learning this, we immediately ended our relationship with that company."
