Thanks to the 13th Amendment, slavery still exists in the US in the form of low- or no-wage prison labor. But organizers like Jeronimo Aguilar and John Cannon are working to end this practice for good.

PRISON IS NOT A LUXURY HOTEL STAY!!!
What about those who are sentenced to "Community Service" hours as well as fines etc? When you do "Community Service" hours you do not get paid anything at all. Some people I know had to do 2-300 hours of "Community Service". What many people fail to see is that when you are convicted of a crime even if you do not face jail time you can be ordered to do "Community Service" hours as a part of the punishment and reparations to the "Community" for your crime(s).
I see nothing wrong with it and those who are calling it slavery are stupid. For those who are in jail doing "Community Service" they should be treated more fairly than they have been and are. For some this is the only path to gaining freedom a bit sooner than what they were sentenced to and it helps them build back confidence within themselves to actually find a real job once they are released vs just going back to doing crimes until caught again.

Prison labour should be highly encouraged and paid at least paid minimum wage. It should be based on job training and education provided in the prisons. Work experience and training for a job after release is an essential part of rehabilitation and preventing recidivism.
the 13th amendment is not written for what it says, but for what it implies, as are most 'laws'
the 13th amendment implies that 'voluntary' servitude is in full force and effect. peep that!
if we knew how the law functions we could easily defeat it… help is on the way
The 13th Amendment May free the slaves US citizens is not the same as the United States 14th Amendment put us all in slave what it is slaves with remedy United States only restriction the United States is the only restriction that has constitution rights US citizens have privileges want to get rid of slaves we got to get rid of the 14th Amendment
See when you're convicted of a crime when you go to prison instead of getting paid cash for your work you get paid in game time and a lot of those inmates want to go outside again and work or go out around and compound and work because it gets them out of the dormitories and get some out of the compound to work in the public instead of being cooped up in a God damn jail cell all fucking day so to sit there and say that slavery still exists in America because they're working inmates that's that's a lie that's a ball face or there's a lot of things I agree with you guys on that's one I think I totally disagree with you
Both of you are really some special guys, I see big things happening for you. God bless you both.
This is a bullshit discourse. As long as DEBT remains SLAVERY goes on with it …
Unless prisoners are forced to work it is not slavery. It does not matter if they are paid or not either. If a prisoner has a choice to work or not they are not a slave
This YouTube channel is definitely not one I should be in, I don't find this to be real news. The 13th amendment was written in a way that provided a form of punishment, which also lends to rehabilitation and relief of the debt to the taxpayers that support those that have violated either law, or others rights. And this is still based on the fundamental right of choice. Those that choose to violate law or others rights know full well what the result will be. They also choose to participate in the work programs built into the criminal system.
I've been saying this for the last 50 years it's called Financial slavery

It never stopped
Amazon needs to watch this.

This is just an update of convict leasing; see Douglas A. Blackmon's "Slavery by another Name".

Some years ago I brought this to your attention on an interview we did. 2017. Since then we've abolished slavery in 3 states, we have legislation for an additional 28. I'm currently the Co-director of state operations for the ASNN Abolish Slavery national network. abolishslavery.us and we even have federal legislation on the table in a joint resolution endtheexception.com
We've been the people behind every piece of abolition legislation in the US. including ACA3.
