So all we need to do is find a way to put people in prison!

Win-win!

    Hey, they’re lucky not to be used as slaves!

    The 13th Amendment states: “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, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”

    Let’s call for-profit prisons what they are - Plantations.

      I always assume it’s a European (or maybe Canadian) that makes posts like this. Last time I asked, I think they we’re European - definitely not American.

      But I really hope that Americans, at least, know that the right to enslave is enshrined in their constitution.

        Oh, a bunch of us know, but because of gerrymandering and the ignorance of the larger populace, there’s not a goddamn thing we can do about it.
