This isn't necessarily news since it appears it was mentioned in her 1996 book .
But why did the Bernie Sanders folks wait this long to expose this stuff .
Kind of creepy she became friendly with these men that were murderers . Especially considering all the mysterious deaths of Clinton associates.

Twitter users have reacted with surprise and fury over excerpts from Hillary Clinton’s 1996 book It Takes A Village. On June 6, Jeanette Jing, an activist with over 33,000 followers on Twitter who supports Clinton's Democratic opponent Sen. Bernie Sanders, shared two pages of the work in which Clinton reminisces about the black prisoners who worked in the Arkansas governor’s mansion she shared with her husband, Bill Clinton, who led the state from 1979 to 1981 and 1983 to 1992.
“When we moved in, I was told that using prison labor at the governor’s mansion was a longstanding tradition, which kept down costs,” Clinton writes. She adds that most of the workers were convicted murderers and she became friendly with “a few of them, African-American men in their thirties who had already served 12 to 18 years of their sentences.”
Well, using prisoners for unpaid labor is a long tradition, especially in the South. Texas prisoners do all sorts of unpaid labor.
I doubt that Ms. Clinton had any choice in the matter. It was simply the way things were done, and probably still done.
So I guess this means ALL forms of slavery are just okey dokey because it's how things were done? Is that where you stand? It's how things were done and people had no choice in the matter?

You're right in that SANE people don't care about her. Unfortunately, she keeps mugging for the cameras, media, graduates, all kinds of morons who think she still IS relevant.

I didn't say that she doesn't think she's still relevant. The only citizens who seem to care about what she's saying or doing are conservatives. Go figure.
She probably banged a lot of those dudes. Makes sense. The Clintons seem like they have a nice little open relationship going, which is why Hillary was so "outraged" (hahaha) over the Monica thing.

State prisons, especially in the South, have been leasing out inmates, for serious decades.
Beyond that this legacy practice gives a competitive advantage to state prisons, what's the problem?
