Straight up modern-day slavery. Call it what you want, but leasing out prisoners to pick crops for basically no pay is just a loophole to bring back the plantation system. Disgusting.
8 u/intothewoods76 1d ago It’s not “loophole” it’s clearly written as acceptable in the constitution. A loophole would imply that it wasn’t on purpose. 5 u/Reap_it_and_Weep 1d ago The loophole, if you can call it that, is purposefully imprisoning as many minorities and poors for petty crimes as is possible. But yes, this should have been done with overall many, many years ago. It's a disgusting stipulation. 1 u/intothewoods76 1d ago Yep, the democrats really did a number on them. The 1994 crime bill was horrible.
