In-person visits to resume at Philadelphia prisons

Thousands of people at Holmesburg Prison were exposed to painful skin tests, anesthesia-free surgery, harmful radiation and mind-altering drugs.

While most incarcerated workers today help maintain correctional facilities, others are leased out to private companies or take part in work-release programs.
