      It’s super important to really understand how fucked penal slavery and convict leasing is. When you think of American slavery you think of people working in a field and that it stopped with the civil war. It absolutely didn’t. They forced prisoners to work the fields after that.

          probably need all those prisons to work for next to none to fight fires, or do govt work that nobody wants to work.
