The Boys In The Bunkhouse by Dan Barry
Servitude and Salvation in the Heartland
This poignant narrative sheds light on the harrowing experiences of a group of intellectually disabled men who were exploited for decades in a turkey processing plant in Iowa. Living in squalid conditions and subjected to inhumane treatment, these men were paid a pittance for their labor while their rights and dignity were systematically stripped away. Through meticulous research and compassionate storytelling, the book delves into the broader societal failures that allowed such exploitation to persist, ultimately serving as a powerful call for justice and reform.
