A new book on the plight of illegal immigrants by Gabriel Thompson touches on chicken slaughterhouses in Alabama. The basic plot of the book is that Gabriel Thompson goes "undercover" doing jobs "most American's won't do", one of which happened to be working at a chicken slaughterhouse in rural Alabama:
Thompson did the kind of backbreaking work that most Americans wouldn't think of doing. In a recent e-mail, Thompson wrote that "He stooped over lettuce fields in Arizona … worked the graveyard shift at a chicken slaughterhouse in rural Alabama, … dodged taxis … as a bicycle delivery 'boy' for an upscale Manhattan restaurant, and was fired from a flower shop by a boss who, he quickly realized, was nuts."Not on the top of my list, but it touches on Alabama, and looks to be a fairly interesting read.
