Thailand urged to stop sending prisoners out to sea
Thai Prisoners May Soon Be Catching the Fish on Your Dinner Plate
I found two articles about the Thai fishing industry using/"employing" prisoners because allegedly there is a labor shortage. It's unclear whether or not these prisoners are consenting "employees" or if they are forced to work in the fishing industry but the international community is now on high alert for any human rights violations. This situation in Thailand seems like modern day slavery and indentured servitude, sure these men are prisoners but they should not be forced to work in sketchy conditions. Sure working conditions in countries such as Thailand aren't the best but they should employ the unemployed rather than the prisoners. This article caught you attention because it's a human rights issue, it affects the global community, specially countries that get their fish from Thailand.
