This paper examines how Western Washington University is directly tied to the unethical practices of the Prison Industrial Complex through their dining services contract with Aramark. The Prison System exploits marginalized communities, specifically Black communities and lower class Americans, rendering them second class citizens in order to create profit for the companies involved.
