True, but apart from that… why do we necessarily HAVE to have prison labor…our prisons produce billions of dollars worth of goods through prison labor… but like is it really necessary to force those people to engage in that labor??? I know we’re talking about criminals, but it feels icky because of our country’s mass incarceration, police brutality, and bigotry issues…

No, but I was talking about the 13th Amendment was implemented to abolish slavery—with the added BUT of unless they were imprisoned. I mentioned what happened after we implemented the 13th amendment: people being arrested for vagrancy and loitering. These weren’t criminal offenses before the 13th amendment, they made them criminal offenses so that racist cops could put black people in jail and prisons. Nowhere in that statement did I imply that only black people go to jail or prisons.

See that’s the trick. It never abolished slavery, it just added conditions. The goal was never to abolish slavery

See I get that, but now it’s been 160 years… and I can’t help but wonder why exactly our country needs the labor of producing the products we get from the prisons… it seems odd and icky.

True, they are corrupt, greedy, and evil. Our country only takes care of you if you’re rich.
