Convict labor was “…perfectly legal, since the 13th Amendment, which outlawed slavery, made one very consequential exception: ’Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States.’”
“Convict leasing is the missing link between slavery…and the disparate impact of the criminal justice system on African Americans today.”
