"I lived out at Sunlan’ Lan’ an’ Cattle Company’s place. Honest to God, they got a cop for ever’ ten people. Got one water faucet for ’bout two hundred people."
…They got a block of shacks – thirty-five of ’em in a row, an’ fifteen deep. An’ they got ten crappers for the whole shebang."
– John Steinbeck
The Grapes of Wrath, Chapter 24. Two characters discuss the terrible conditions for workers at a major farm, where control is valued above basic human needs. This is in contrast to the Weedpatch government camp, where there is warm water and flush toilets and human dignity is preserved.
