Okay, this might be an incredibly dumb question, but if the draft were to be opened once again, would that not be a form of forced involuntary servitude?

Working for a fair wage, and being forced to work for basically nothing are not the same. If the gov going to make them pay restitution and such, they should allow them to work that off at fair wage

it's abhorrent and unethical and that's before you even consider the failings, biases, racism and abuse within the criminal justice system

So slavery is legal. Which is why black men have been imprisoned at such high rates since the civil rights era. Makes sense.

No one but the public should benefit from jailed labor. If it is lining pockets then they are slaves of that entity and it should be illegal

But the constitution also says we have the right to be protected from cruel and unusual punishment. Wouldn’t that include slavery?

Ever wonder why some states have laws like “no throwing dice after dark” it means for black people. And it was a loop hole to enslave black people after the 13th amendment

and that loophole is what led to jim crow, the war on drugs, and the continued criminalization of blackness and poverty.

there has got to be more social benefit to having inmates work for money in a forced savings account that pays taxes while in jail. there is no financial and responsibility education to slavery.

My uncle was locked up for 25 years and he said it was a privilege to go outside and pick up trash on the side of the road And smell freedom you never know what you have until you lost it

Can you ask your boyfriend to cut down on the editorializing? it's taking away from the educational nature of your content when he pulls out his soapbox every video

all of their living expenses are taken care of, their pay is proportionate to the cost of housing and caring for them.

Yes there are benefits to working while incarcerated. Those benefits are not reduced if they are paid minimum wage.

you know what else has positive outcomes for prisoners? leaving jail with money in their bank account. slavery isn't cool even if you're a convict.

Can somebody tell me a better answer than “it just feels wrong” to allow forced labor as a form of punishment? seems like a good idea from every perspective.

I don’t care about people in prison, they are bad people and are in prison for a reason, they might as well make themselves a little less useless
