      Slavery wasn’t outlawed. It was nationalised. Slavery is legal for any person incarcerated for a crime. This is why we have mandatory minimum sentencing. The whole prison system is a method of acquiring free labor that the government pays you to house on metal beds and feed with slop. Alabama has made it an art form, leasing prisoners out to fast food restaurants, taking half their pay, and then refusing them parole.
