"Green Prison is the title of a book written by a Honduran banana worker, and still depicts the life of a Central American worker in a chemically drenched and repressive environment. Alistair Smith reports."

"The toll on the health of plantation workers and their communities has been severe(1). Over 60% of reported pesticide poisonings in Costa Rica are from banana plantation workers. In the most notorious case tens of thousands of men and women across the international banana industry have been made sterile by the use in the late 1970s and early 1980s of DBCP (di-bromo-chloro-propane). DBCP was banned in the US in 1977 and dumped in a dozen banana-producing countries. The court case is unfinished and most workers have received only a few hundred dollars compensation, compared to settlements of over $1 million following a serious accident in the Californian factory manufacturing DBCP. Not a cent has been paid by any of the banana companies who used the pesticide, knowing it had been banned in the US."
