This Nov. 29, 2017 photo provided by Reveal from The Center Investigative Reporting shows a Coca-Cola bottling plant in Ada, Okla. Retired Oklahoma judge Thomas Landrith started his own rehab work camp where defendants must work full-time for free at the Coca-Cola bottling plant and other companies, under threat of prison. They are required to say they're unemployed and turn over their food stamps to the program, which state regulators say is fraud. Some of them even work on Landrith's yard – for free.
