EXCERPT:


Slavery is not just the shameful stuff
of history books - not in Florida
The Palm Beach Post presents a three-part examination of slavery,
its costs and its effects - on the migrant workers, and on you
About the Series
For nine months, The Palm Beach Post explored the roots of modern-day
slavery. Reporters and photographers traveled to destitute Mexican
villages, crossed the desert with a smuggler, rode across the U.S. with
illegal immigrants, found new claims of slavery, uncovered rampant
Social Security fraud, and found that Florida's famous orange juice
comes with hidden costs.

Used and Abused Part 1 How immigrants live in Florida: Locked up, 
cheated out of pay, robbed of their names, stacked 10 to a room. Part 
1 Part 2:
How They Come Part 1 Desperate journey: Driven by poverty, a crossing 
that can kill, a broken dream. Part 1 Part 3:
The Real Cost Part 1 Fresh from Florida: A favored industry, a 
society burdened, a deadly cycle.
