It’s modern-day slavery. A GOP Super PAC paid Oklahoma $10/hour for incarcerated people to make political phone calls. The prisoners were paid just $2/hour.

End prison labor exploitation.

Seeing posts about the US Justice system "being a farce"..
I've known that since 6.
It's Generational Knowledge
Show me *any* time in US History when justice has EVER been equal for all?
I'll wait.

Has #DOGE, Elon Musk, or Trump2 discussed efficiency/austerity measures for Federal Prison Industries, Inc. specifically or the federal #prison system more generally?

The 13th Amendment is a loophole to perpetuate slavery. The police were created to capture escaped slaves. It's as simple as that. #acab #13thamendment #police #prison

Dec. 06, 1865, #13thAmendment of the U.S. Constitution ratifies Dec. 6, 1865, (mostly) abolishes slavery, unless you're in prison.
U.S.wildfires are fought by prisoners. Capitalist companies exploit prison labor as their own sweatshops. end ALL slavery NOW!

A positive development in #Colorado is worth watching. Colorado voters came together and passed an amendment to their state constitution that closes the loophole created by the exception to the #13thAmendment re: involuntary servitude 3/4

Did you know that the #prison industry in the US is seen as a valuable commodity because corporations and others take advantage of conditions of virtual #slavery in order to increase their profit margins? It’s really an abomination if you think about it long enough #13thAmendment 1/4

#slavery was never abolished in the #US, it was only modified, as explicitly defined in the #13thAmendment.

The #prisonindustrialcomplex is literally #slaverybyanothername.

Where are the international sanctions on the #unitedstates?

And people are still confused as to how we can be allies […]

#cyclosporaoutbreak
( ID: Multiple outbreaks (cyclospora & salmonella so far) all linked back to Taylor Farms. If an individual restaurant caused this many illnesses, they would get shut down. But a giant corporation can do this over and over again while consumers are suffering the consequences This is a corporation that is cutting corners from every angle. They've used slave labor to harvest the food we eat. Have repeatedly been called out for the wretched conditions their workers are exposed to, which is a big part of what results in contaminations, all while they rake in the profits. They leave a trail of disease in their wake and then go home and sleep soundly on silk sheets. Maybe if we would at least ban slavery in all its forms, including as punishment for a crime, we could begin to make some progress here. Always remember that your quality of life is intrinsically connected to the quality of life of every prisoner in this country. If corporations could not exploit prisoners for coerced labor, who have massively reduced bargaining power to oppose unsafe working conditions, then our food would be a lot safer to eat right now. These issues are deeply connected. )
