China used prisoners in lucrative internet gaming work

‘”Prison bosses made more money forcing inmates to play games than they do forcing people to do manual labour,” [one prisoner] told the Guardian. “There were 300 prisoners forced to play games. We worked 12-hour shifts in the camp. I heard them say they could earn 5,000-6,000rmb [£470-570] a day. We didn’t see any of the money. The computers were never turned off.”‘ (The Guardian via The Null Device).
