      Hate to break it to you but those two things are super clear cut examples of how one could prohibit slavery in the prison system.

      Oh woah! I didn’t know working for nine cents-dollar an hour (variable depending on state) as a punishment for a drug charge or some other felony (ontop of getting your rights stripped) isn’t slavery! I didn’t know that fighting deadly fires for that same amount of money isn’t slavery either. Of course, I suppose in some states the alternative is to completely forgo commission at all. You know, conditions in American prisons are just that great you can do that, right? /s

      What’s even stranger is that there is certain ethnic groups targeted by the private prison complex and then sentenced to that type of “labor as punishment for crime” in the same settler state that has a history of enslaving people. Just coincidences, right?

      You’re a fucking pathetic worm, wriggling your shit all over the god damn definitions and stinking up the god damn place with your empty rhetoric. Fuck you.
