This has been making the rounds on line, but it turns out that this business merely grows cannabis at a former prison that's been repurposed; it's not being grown by the inmates.

Are people really thinking the government would spend money to grow weed to get people out of prison?

Seems obvious that it’s not actually inmates.

They lease inmates to Wendy’s so I wouldn’t be surprised

So they’re gonna raise money to release their money makers? Thats the hitch in the thought process here.

no, i thought a pot company was leasing prisoners for a grow op and giving a portion of profits back

You seriously thought a prison would lease its inmates to a company trying to release said inmates…?

That still doesn’t fit with the “in a prison” either.

Critical thinking is seriously lacking in this world.
