This 2015 photo shows first responders as they work to free Blas Sanchez from an auger that snagged and mutilated his right leg, at Hickman's Family Farms, in Tonopah, Ariz. Nationwide, prisoners are increasingly being placed in dangerous jobs, sometimes with little or no training. They are part of a labor system that, often by design, largely denies them basic rights and protections guaranteed to other American workers. (Provided by Blas Sanchez via AP)
Estella Snyder's mother Ashley Snyder and grandmother Jackie Baraniak prepare an afterschool snack for Estella, right, in Halifax, Pa., Wednesday, March 6, 2024. Across the country, it's not uncommon for the relatives of prisoners who died on the job to struggle with determining who's liable. When workers' compensation is offered, the amount awarded is typically determined by the size of the worker's paycheck and usually closes the door on future wrongful death suits.
