A Letter to CEO Bob Pickens
To CEO Bob Pickens,
As millions of companies around the globe change their logos to black and white in LinkedIn's proverbial hand-wave to deep-seated racism, let's all turn a moment of our attention to your firm, Securus Technologies, a company who refuses even to fake it.
Your profiting off prison systems--the ultimate legacy of historic racism--makes a front-running case for the most pathetic, insidious business model still in existence.
It took a minute to find your personal LinkedIn (https://lnkd.in/gQsJymh) --why have a photo to stand by your policy of $5 phone calls for incarcerated individuals making less than $1/hour?
But I just wanted to say thanks for your consistency in keeping the Securus logo a nice bright blue for those blue skies the incarcerated maybe get to see a few hours a week.
When it comes to exploiting those in prison, you continue to show that no bar is too low.
