The ended slavery in the U.S., except for incarcerated people.

Across the country, this exception in the 13th Amendment would perpetuate a system wherein financial incentives were used to criminalize people and force them to work for the profit of others.

Labor in U.S. jails, prisons, and detention centers should be voluntary and people who work while incarcerated should be paid a fair wage. This , it’s critical that we work to : vera.org/news/close-new-yorks-

@QasimRashid @danirabbit And this is why we have private prisons in many parts of the USA, so that corporations can legally enslave people (overwhelmingly black men, of course) and get their labor for free.
