Openly using prison slave labour and…
Openly using prison slave labour and reframing it as ethical, sustainable and "empowering to women". Nothing progressive about this company.
OPENLY admitting not paying the working women enough. Not providing opportunities for the incarcerated women, when (or if) they eventually get out of prison. This work model does not help women get out of crime, in fact it is based upon them returning to prisons!
Just as unethical as the whole textile industry itself mixed with white savourism. This is vile and upsetting! Do not support this company. These clothes are not worth a penny!
Dette firma brander åbent sig selv på at bruge slavearbejde i fængsler i Peru og Thailand. Der er intet progressivt ved dette firma! De indrømmer ÅBENT at de betaler de indsatte kvinder en meget lille sum i forhold til salgspris. De fordrer ikke arbejdsmuligheder for kvinderne, når (eller hvis) de kommer ud af fængslerne. Faktisk er hele denne arbejdsmodel baseret på, at kvinderne skal vende tilbage til fængslerne!
Dette er dybt uetisk og stinker af "white savourism". Støt ikke dette firma, deres tøj er ikke en krone værd.

Hi!
We have relaunched Carcel with a brand new team, production and working method after the old Carcel went bankrupt in 2021. Carcel no longer works with prisons, we would rather be preventive and make a difference on a broader scale. We now work with a responsible production, circularity and donation to initiatives within human empowerment and protecting our environment. Please feel free to read more about us on our webpage. We hope that might change your mind and understand the new Carcel!
