Alabama Is Generating Billions by Trapping People in Prison 

I just moved to SC and they definitely do it down here it’s awful 😞

Are you voting Kamala? If so, stop the fake outrage.

​@@LPAFilmah yes because Trump would *instantly* put an end to modern slavery after he was so successful ending that during his last presidency…

That part👆

Well said.

There ya go.

WHOSE CONTROLLING THIS SYSTEM..........WHOSE MAKES THE LAWS AKA THE RULES?????????

@andreturner8292 Usually, in the States, it's the legislators. So, Alabama legislators. The people have been removed more and more from government. Lookit the Red State doing the Slavery thing.

You are so right ,yet Donald trump can walk free

It's either a mortgage, school loans, healthcare costs on credit cards...the system is to impose servitude via proxy debt-slavery.

@@CJ-xg4wlhis time will come

@@lohphatyour right Americans will always be corporate debt slaves and tax slaves

some are, just gotta be rich

That’s exactly what I was just thinking. It undoubtedly hurts regular, free folks, especially young people in school and poor women, especially with children, just trying to get by in the everyday world. So it hurts both the prisoners who should get parole, as well as the townspeople, but it only benefits the corporations and the prisons. Yeah, Kay Ivey is such a peach (sarcasm).

This is a result of allowing Slavery to remain legal in the Constitution. Everyone will eventually become subject to it.

​@@kgs2280looking at the big picture, play I'm trying to create crabs in a barrel. Causing unemployed people to stay poor and commit crimes and go to jail

WE 🇺🇸🫂 PPL Are On Our Own Period 😢

I think the companies still pay the full wages for the work. The corrections office pays them and then keeps the rest of the money. Over time, that's alot of money.

Good saying

A phrase that was burried by the greedy self serving rich hiding behind church & corporate blind dogma.

@@blasphimus There is no such thing as capitalism for the workers.

Tell that to people in California that own businesses that get there merchandise stolen because of the soft crime penalties there.

@@richard7479 it's against the law to be poor. Most laws in this country require people to spend money in order to follow the law and if they can't afford it, they get incarcerated. All US government including States are involved in human trafficking under the guise of "being tough on crime" to justify it.

Because idiots think “freedom” means they can do “ whatever they want” without consequences.

free to get to work for THEIR entertainment needs. Need to go to a mostly subsistence society.

more than any other country period.

Land of the free with an asterisk: you must be in a wealthy noble family. Basically remaking feudalism. They are taking others freedom because it threatens their power that gives them infinite dopamine. George Orwell’s 1984 was a stark warning to society and we need to wake up.

The government made it a business and it was supported by everyone. Now here we are.

The more billionaires are allowed to parasitically take wealth from the nation and hoard it, the more this happens. We have a huge part of the nation voting for an incompetent, childish, flat out stupid criminal who wants to give billionaires more tax breaks so they contribute even less to the nation. If people keep voting republican, especially for a rich boy born with a silver spoon like Trump, a bigger and bigger portion of the population will be working multiple minimum-wage jobs like that just to get by.

Why don’t you ask her and help her not us. How would we know

She was an economic slave. 99% percent of us are. Some just get paid more. Why I never married. Growing up in a slave system is one thing, you have no control over that. Trying to raise a family in a slave system is another thing. No thanks.

7.25 an hour is always slavery. All this time and a petty 7 dollars and 25 cents an hour is all that separates illegal slavery to legal slavery.

Paying someone 7.25 and hour should be a crime.

​@@PenguinTac0s Embarrassing and backward view.

​@@PenguinTac0s Yes. That is part of the social contract. We give away certain rights and pay dues in exchamge for representation and services. I.E. Our entire criminal justice system including prisons. Further, for profit prisons cost just as much, if not more, to the tax payer for them to do less than what a public prison provides. They also have stipulations in those contracts with the state for minimum occupancy standards or else the state pays them a fine, meaning the state needs to ensure a certain number of people go to that prison, disincentivizing any real reforms that could reduce prison populations that would ultimately save us, the taxpayers, money.

​@@PenguinTac0syour taxes money keeps going into the prison owners pockets. Google how much a for proffit prison gets for each prisoner? And it won't get less because said prisoner works his butt off, without ever seeing a dime.

@@PenguinTac0s yes, taxpayers should pay for prisons. No one shold make a profit by running prisons. The video illustrated the problem.

​@@PenguinTac0sBS the tax payers do break the law. Even the law enforcement officers, the lawmakers, and the Judges, and Justices break the law.

Socialism for the rich, laissez-faire capitalism for the poor

@@virtualgambit577 Neoliberalism is the better word I feel, but absolutely right. It's a form of capitalism for us that is not actually equal, the rich already have insider info on everything.

And wars...and stem cell research...and trips to Mars!

The 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution abolished slavery in the United States and involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime. It was passed by Congress on January 31, 1865, and ratified on December 6, 1865.

Most prisons, including the ones that participate in this kind of activity, are state-owned and non-profit. Management and judges get kickbacks from the corporations.

@@freestyl07 hell if you think 🤔 about it technically everyone is still a slave to the system. You pay your taxes, you work like a dog just to have half your money taken by gov, you pay taxes on every single thing! You're a slave just in a different way! You follow the laws right? That's slave fear, fear of the laws so ya we're still slaves to a system

hush commie

the emancipation proclamation occurred. The USA obtained around 380,000 of the 10,000,000 slaves traded by EUROPEANS to the colonies. The majority of which went to S. America or EUROPEAN colonies/commonwealths/protectorates. The slaves into the USA were near the end of this trade by EUROPEANS. So yes it has ended in the modern day. Throughout the world there are "jails", why because some people ARE dangerous to other people. Unless you believe a "silence of the lambs" type should go free, or that there are prisoners capable of working outside based on their good demeanors. It's all a continuum, from single cell isolation to this situation.

It generally was abolished, but there remained carve-outs. I wish more people knew about that.

I mean it’s literally in the 13th amendment the exception is prisoners that have been convicted Section 1 Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction. Section 2 Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

100% facts.Its a trap....

Well if it’s at a fast food restaurant like the ones they are working at they will take them in a heartbeat due to the labor shortage since 2020.

or their race

Yeah, where do you find out how bad the justice system is and they feed that system yeah, we have a lot of work to do but there’s a reason why Hollywood even invest in prison so much money to be made captive audience and all it’s disgusting, while the real criminals go FREE JETS and yachts

So they get sucked back into the prison system. Ah, that prison industrial-complex and its corrupt enablers in government.

Instead of hiring you it's more profitable to get slaves. Incarceration has been the next slavery all this time

thats exactly what stalin did when he forced the non-incarcerated population to compete against the gulag...

They're using prison labor to break up unions. To treat us all like prisoners. This is insane.

Question is which catagory industrial or law enforcement should be unionized? Police reform fails as evident in Chicago for the past 40 years resulting from Unions in law enforcement reverting to racial profiling (stop and frisk) policies to protect the "status quo" enforcing the Romanus pontifex doctrine (1450s) and British Common law America was found by to protect Protestant Christians and enforce stave laws. The ACLU filed numerous lawsuits against law enforcement in Chicago leading to consent decrees for the same violations (racial profiling, stop and frisk) only to have officers revert to previous race based policies.

every single company in america would gladly use slave labor over employees if we let them (and a lot do it anyway)

How? Either You jokeing or that naive of a child. Urgh- simple, It its the HOW becuse A: is doing these still making me money? Yes And B: do society those not give enough of a flying fuck to stop this? Also Yes. Theres it is, why would you stop using your mop to mop the floor if its working out for you, and why would you have initiation to stop moping the floors with your mop if no one gonna stop you nor have a reason to deny yourself of that chore?

Are you voting Kamala? If so, stop the fake outrage.

​@@LPAFilm Sorry, do you think Trump would do something to fix this?

​@LPAFilm there are no 2 parties, only one; the rich. Wake up.

@@DeenanTheKemon1 Every one of those rich politicians is answerable to an AIPAC guy.

RU-vid doesn’t like when you speak truth on its platform

I concur

Prove it.

The 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution provides that "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction

@@Christopher-iv9yyYou wouldn't care if someone provided proof.

Looks like the just expanded it

I was in Management in Aoc and was shocked when people had a life sentence for a misdemeanor charge of stealing bread on three strikes with no felonies. Many are incarcerated for being black. True some have committed crimes. However, if they were actually locking up people for committing crimes the system would be more diverse considering all the conviently overlooked. They should use that for every crime on the book.

@@lw1524 please go find me the bread man. The man that was only stealing some bread for his emaciated daughter and ended up getting life in prison.

@@lw1524 that should not happen either. Having grown up in a small community, I have seen how people become targeted by the community, often for no other reason than thinking differently.

The issue becomes greed. I believe in justice, but many of the people in charge of carrying it out are also corrupt. If there is money to be made in forcing incarcerated people to work then it will be abused. On some level there will be a contract, and that contract will include monetary compensation to cover transportation, food, extra clothing etc. Then people will do what people always do and take advantage of the system to make money. There is no way a prison is agreeing to transport prisoners around to various jobs and taking on all the extra responsibility without being well compensated. Once they see the value in the system it becomes more valuable to keep someone incarcerated for the labor value than allowing them parole.

I came to say this. I don’t think greed and for profit should be allowed. I do think it’s okay for them to pay restitution and cover the costs of those incarceration instead of the tax payers having to shoulder the burden.

Agreed

I would also accept this being allowed, so long as NOBODY gets any kind of deal, reward, kickback, ect from these prisoners working, except the place they're working at. But that' opens the doors to under the table deals, so really nah, it just shouldn't happen.

This is a lie and misinformation. THIS is about select individuals abusing a specific system. Not widespread. One misstep and they are the ones in front of the Judge. MOVE OUT!

For profit prison system that allows legal slavery if found convicted... within the 13th, 14th amendment

The system can never be replaced with something fair and better until people accept that it is NOT broken.

Yup. Its all about getting the most work out of you for the least pay, always has been.

The point is to subjugate the worker as much as possible, encouraging child labor now is the “how low can you go” mindset that is KILLING workers with less n less rights…It’s why we need every person in a union. I mean unions themselves abolished child workers!! Now they’re abolishing those protections…and bringing back slavery-which was their goal all along!

They get to legally pay an individual not only state min wage, but set standards that the jail system allows - No Overtime!

Project 2025 has a section devoted to changing child labour laws to allow some kids, whom want to; To do dangerous work if they can handle it!

Migrant labor isn’t any cheaper than American labor, given we all work under the authorization of the govt. or oh wait, do you mean illegal immigrant labor, because okay why’d you just only say “migrant” that’s misleading.

Right?! 🥲

White supremacy requires black enslavement.

By forcè

Maybe slavery never emded....

They're still playing the slave game in England too....they will stop at nothing to keep the slave game going.

Alabama, like my state of Texas and many other southern states seem to be stuck in the past, like they got no new blood with new ideas. Here in Texas if a family in need applies for SNAP benefits and they are a US citizen, the state of Texas takes their sweet time sending them their EBT card AND they don't give the recipient correct information and Texas Legal AID is woefully deficient in fighting for the poor, yet an illegal from Mexico gets ALL the welfare benefits immediately, no questions asked. So much for Texas being against illegals, its not the lone stat state, its the hypocrite state and its going to get sued one of these days, karma is coming for you Greg Abbott you George Soros Bush Crime Family shill.

​@@troypollonais9143And a much higher cost of living to boot.

Nah, it's VERY American. This is what this country was founded on.

it's 100% American babes

It's VERY American to have slavery

And the politicians who should be representing this group of people is most likely rooting and rallying for the other side.

STOP COMMITTING CRIMES!

Did their victims get the attention they deserved? They are not in prison for no reason. They are in prison because either their crimes were so severe that they had to be removed from society, or the wouldn't stop breaking the law and it was the only way to keep them from victimizing innocent people.

​@Thunderbyrd. That still does not make them available for cheap labour in any civilised country. And if their crimes are that bad why trust them in service jobs? It makes mo sense.

@@Thunderbyrd. Private companies should not make a profit of slavery. Furthermore the real hard earning people and their income should not have to compete with those free services of incarcerated people! Who commit crimes and is not suitable for parole, should not serve private companies for their profit and taking hard working peoples jobs!

You got that right.

Once the collapse happens food will be the new God

There's also the fear of people of western European descent. People that, unconsciously, know the harm that has been done and can't face it, because they fear the very actions they've committed.

@@kcrich1310 NO. SOME CRIMINALS..want to go back. Don't commit crimes.

Wicked Wicked Wicked system

Agreed; and they can use the public work they did on their resume.

I have every issue with an unjust Justice System continuing the practice of slavery under the guise of being tough on crime. The report, Race and Wrongful Convictions in the United States 2022, reviewed the cases of 3,200 innocent defendants exonerated in the United States since 1989. Black people, the researchers found, were 7 times more likely to be wrongfully convicted, were more likely to be the targets of police misconduct, and more likely to be imprisoned longer before being exonerated.

The corrupt criminal justice system takes 40% of there earnings that is highway robbery in itself. I bet if all the inmates banned together and refused at same rate to not work they would be in a world of misery for all the revenue loss. Slavery never ended they just rebranded it and now everyone of every race is involved in making the state richer by any means

And non violent crimes should never have to be locked up, even if it was defending with violence - what are we supposed to do lay down and get massacred?

Idk it’s a slippery slope. As you can see the state is giving people long sentences for crimes that don’t match. You might get ten years for smoking a joint or something. While a pedophile will get 9 but the difference is you have to work but the other guys doesn’t

Shouldn't have had kids, sell one of the cars, move into a smaller place, gain a skill that is worth more than 20/hr. The world owes you nothing.

i work for purdue, didn’t know this until i seen it with my own eyes

And you worked, like the rest of normal people to sustain, your living in prison. PRISON IS NOT A SPA OR FREE. Prison has the same bills any household has.

The US prison system was created in Alabama immediately after the end of the Civil War. The state instituted draconian "loitering" and "curfew" laws so that black men walking home from legitimate jobs were arrested for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. These prisoners were rented out to mines and agribusiness to work without pay (the state got paid) and to live in barracks that were nothing more than barns, and many, MANY died from the horrific conditions without ever seeing their families again after their arrest.

Absolutely I'm in bama as well and involved in community corrections and you wouldn't believe the money I have to shell out every month ...is a total scam and they shorten the hours they are open and up the prices on the drug test all the time ...

@@bthom1354 I would definitely believe it!

Don't have a recidivism problem that way.

Yeah because the prison has a contract and profits off prisoner workers / slaves. Those jobs are for prisoners not people in the community

Exactly...going to prison to get a job. It's so utterly criminal...The Constitution and every law on the books should be ignored...burned and damned by those of us who suffer this mockery.

If you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime. The objective of prison labor is to: >repay your debt to society >punish you for committing crime. The issue is *not* prison labor; if I had my way, all prisoners would be made to do labor instead of lounging in an easy cell with free food and water for years. (The working class gets no free shelter, and works hard EVERY DAY.) The only issue here is that the money is going to corporations, instead of funding public projects that taxpayers are forking out money for. But anyone who has been incarcerated can, and should, be made to work from the time they are admitted until the day they are released.

Okay, let me draw your attention waaay back to the start of my statement: "One of the people in this video received a seventeen year sentence for a crime that was not a felony and did not involve someone else being hurt." I didn't state they didn't break the law; they did. I didn't state they didn't deserve to be punished for their crime; they were. What I objected to (and what you have conveniently ignored) is that this person spent 17 years (longer than children are expected to spend in public schooling) in prison for their crimes. Choice doesn't enter into this. There are three classes of misdemeanor in the state of Alabama. The most severe, Class A, has a maximum allowable sentence of 1 year in jail (not prison, mind you, just the county jail) and a fine of $6,000. So, either the person in this video committed the same crime seventeen times and got the max for every charge or something incredibly screwy is going on with the system. Beyond, you know, threatening non-violent offenders with solitary confinement if they don't show up for the double-shift they got assigned at the job that pays them less than a half of the national minimum wage (since Alabama doesn't have a minimum wage established at all). Thunderbyrd, allow me to quote a comedian you might have heard, "Next time you have a thought, let it go."

Wow!

​@@CarieSaadyou took the words outta my mouth

you said a mouthful

Wow, that's insane, when and if they ever let you out, get out of that corrupt state. That's so sad, will be praying you get out!!! Vote blue 💙 when you do

America has so much opportunity, you have illegal immigrants getting jobs. You can figure it out, if you can't then ask for help. Deciding to steal means you're bad

They just perfected it

They Nationalised it

The Great Pretenders sucker punched us...as usual. Time to punch back!

@@user-zu5do6ri6r oh quit crying like a baby. Plenty of black leaders all over rhe place . Mayor's, police chiefs lawyers, doctors etc. Why can't you do something that would better your life? Oh you too busy being a victim.

Read the 13th amendment

Especially when power-hungry pigs in southern states disproportionally target black and other people of color for these private for-profit prisons all while states funnel money to the owners of these prisons while getting kickbacks.

oh no, it's very much at the front door. They just wave their legal magic wand over it, strip away your basic rights because you're a prisoner and then simply change rules so they don't run afoul of Federal employment laws.

They probably take it up the backdoor..... in jail 😂

@@timwarcloud - not funny

@behaviorwellnesspodcast9574 it's hilarious 😂. You know these jailbirds are ass bandits.

I don't think that qualifies as an actual medical addiction. Slavery addiction? never heard of that. But I do agree the system needs to be changed. When I see more than 100k people being unalive from work release a year, I might agree😂

People are a slave to their sin so they end up being incarcerated what's so hard to figure out here Einstein

Even regular workers seem to be slaves of sorts compared to the rest of the world; low PTO, no paid maternity/paternity leave, no compassionate time off

We got all the addictions

FYI, currently there are more people in slavery in 3rd world countries than the USA has ever enslaved.

Maybe if your kids weren't savages, they would go into the pipeline?

Obviously savage. In Texas they lock the young Black men up for 60 years or more habitually.

😢

Carry a stay of of jail free bang, and it isn't an issue. Cop can't plant evidence if he is DRT.

Well…they’re prisoners to begin with. Do the crime, do the time.

@@אתהברטוןif your justification for this horror is a childish singsong rhyme, you’ve already revealed to be an unserious person with an unserious opinion

@@richard7479so teach them. Correct them, so they can make better decisions in the future. Spewing problems without offering a solution is useless.

​@rober657 the system is not doing it. It deliberately creates a revolving door system to MAKE money!

@@אתהברטוןThey’re not the eternally damned, stop treating them like that. These aren’t rapists, thieves, and serial killers that are being forced to work McJobs. It’s the jaywalkers and pot smokers. The people who say one toe out of line as opposed to the people who did something genuinely evil. They don’t deserve to be subjected to slave labor!

Sea org children under age teens in Scientology are slaves for the cult ,separated from their parents even brought into Clearwater Fl having their visas & R visa taken away .The whole system is worse than you think.People are afraid to talk.They even audit children and have massage tables .This is no jocke it's a dark reality in Clearwater since the Cult took down town Clearwater and surrounding area.

I wonder how many of the businesses involved have deals with the military. Is modern American slavery fueling modern American imperialism?

How many are forced to child prostitution because you won't let them get any other job?

AMEN!

No, this is a state prison, but it's nearly as bad as a for-profit prison.

This is not private, though many state prisons are run by Wakenhutt, a private firm (spelling). And the private prisons are not worse in this way, only in many others.

Expect this to spread if Trump is reelected.

Are you voting Kamala? If so, stop the fake outrage.

@@TheMouseAvenger I believe as usual there is some confusion. For profit prisons were when they started contracting out the running of the prisons to private companies such as Wakenhut. But this is another thing that could be called that. The first I heard of it was in California. So be aware of the two different things that may be referred to with that term. Either one is snother trap/shell game the authorities play with our lives.

Wealth and power corrupts.

Elites as in white men, meaning white supremacy. Not one person of color benefits from treating people like that.

Big facts!

The more wealth you have, the less capable you are of having empathy for others. It’s a proven fact that poorer people are more generous than the wealthy (when you compare it %-wise to their assets/income).

the ruling class are taught as children not to have a conscience they're taught that those under them are garbage

I would disagree in that, the idea, in theory has merit and it should be voluntary, but instead its a public-private partnership or fascism where the little guy, the prisoner gets screwed in the end and as someone else said, why are they in prison for a decade for a non-violente crime. This fucking Alabama, I was thinking about moving there too. Alabama, you just lost my income tax money, my sales tax money, I am staying put in the great state of Texas after all.

No, the slave masters belong in prison for not paying minimum wage($7.25) and not giving prisoners a choice to opt out of the opportunity!!!

So you think criminals should go free?

​@@thecrippledpancake9455maybe they shouldn't have committed crimes to begin with. I'm so sick of hearing about how those who commit felonies are being disenfranchised 🙄. If you don't want to be treated like a criminal, don't be a criminal. Too easy.

Don’t participate in that stay locked up then

@@crptnite yes, Like Trump. why is that felon still free?

well when they get out of prison, they can move next to you.

Well, whenever you eat out, run a background check on the person cooking your food.

You need to stop committing crime.

price of freedom is blood.

It's a choice.

You can't. Too many people willfully want to be slaves.

@@arthurfoyt6727that’s bs

@@rachelhronis1966 It's truth. Look at all the id10ts who are economic slaves that owe $300-500K in student loans. Look at those who join cults and give everything over to their leader. Look at all those in crappy cubicle jobs making $6.50 an hour.

@@arthurfoyt6727 This is not slavery. My ancestors were slaves. Slaves are property and cannot earn *any* money and can be beaten or even killed for disobeying. Slaves were not killed routinely only because to kill a slave is to waste your money, like pushing your car off a cliff. So, let's stop comparing this to actual slavery. These inmates also do not have to pay for food and lodging and transportation, so the prisons are taking a cut to help with providing for inmates. I can see both sides of this problem. The lesson is stay out of prison if you do not think it operates fairly.

@@josbar2835 Agreed; jail is not slavery, it's VOLUNTARY.

The cause the problem, they can't solve it.

Biden Obama all the same

Sweet but she needs to toughen up. Crying over this is strange. She hasn't dealt with true pain in life it seems. ❤

​@@TheINFJChannel ah yes, empathy should be sneered at. Where have I heard rhetoric like that before..?

​@@TheINFJChannelwhat a horrible thing to say

​@@TheINFJChannelRage bait used to be funny.

So..... don't commit serious crime in Alabama. Problem solved.

As a Alabama resident, I don't feel bad for them. You should see how many chances these folks get!

Believe me I get it I felt the same as you until my child was convicted. My son worked and was a contributing member of society and made a terrible decision one night that changed our lives. The court system stacked on charges that were not his and was not true when it went in front of the grand jury. My son had a clean record and was in the military for 10 years. His “attorney” allowed the judge to talk to him before hand and scared him into taking a plea. I’ve realized there are many in the Alabama prisons that should have been given probation instead they are given long prison sentences. My son truly didn’t deserve the sentence he received. It is expensive to have someone in prison now and is hard on my family. Most of us won’t allow our dogs to live like they do. It’s sick and gross the conditions they live in. My child is cold in the winter and my son is burning up sweating when it’s summer. Doctors and dentist are jokes in there. He see’s violence and drugs every day. He see’s people overdosing on a regular. He’s seen people stabbed. They don’t get to go outside regularly when they do it might be only a few minutes. I know it’s easier not to think about them but they are being treated terrible in there. My son got zero chances.

@@Mfk0001 I'm sorry for all you've been through,Jesus loves you.

Definitely will do.

Yea, take away the jobs. That will fix things.

Why are black men more likely to be incarcerated just watch the news man 13 percent committing most of the violent crimes in this country and they call it slavery don’t get yourself put in prison jeeeezzz

Calling it crushing it is disgusting

they taught her she does not want to come back. She learned that from the department of corrections. Yes she has to do what the Dept of correction says...I support their request of paid reasonable sick time. this should go for everyone in Alabama not just prisoners...I would guess Alabama does not give citizens paid sick time...Prisoners should not get better conditions than working folk

@@hellasow They’re engaged in criminal behavior as they force her to pay for her crimes. Idk how you justify that but I suppose it’s because if you had the power you’d do it too

Sadly

Mississippi has restitution programs where men work in factories and get $20.00 out of their checks. They live in a different facility from the prison. They get cheap looking food or lunch and transportation to work. I worked with them at a chicken factory.

Louisiana does this.

Sadly, ALL states are doing this, and it's perfectly legal due to the 13th amendment Since they are prisoners, they can legally be slaves. We need to repeal the 13th amendment, NOW!

You said all of that just to say you had no clue about this going on 😂 why the family history?

It's embarrassing to the COUNTRY, as this is all still legal due to the 13th amendment.

The family history to show that those who are conducting these policies, shouldn't really be there in the first place. If I take over your house, and conduct immoral activities there, then there are two issues that are wrong.

So you showed the white man how to own slaves when they showed up and saw yours.

Are you voting Kamala? If so, stop the fake outrage.

@@LPAFilm listen I know who she is! I know she won’t solve most of our problems. But she will solve the tRump. I am outraged! And it’s genuine!!! We never had a lady leader, I have hope!

@@leannhorne8459so you are voting for her based on her being a woman. Oh that’s brilliant. She literally mass incarcerated thousands of Californians and used them for labor but you are still supporting her? Talking out both sides of your mouth.

@@leannhorne8459 I think that person you replied to might be a bot. Could've sworn I saw that exact same message and name just earlier in this comment section

Highly likely

You just accepted all that blood money you going to hell

@@breaunythomas4052I mean the prisoners were probably happy to just do something different, and where else they gonna make .35 cents?

That is such a sad story. I hope it wasn’t in the sweltering South.

​​@@breaunythomas4052yeah? who are you the gate keeper? Are alll those convicted criminals getting into heaven or are they on your list too? 😂

As a former DOC inmate, the opportunity to leave the prison to be amongst society (again) is compensation in itself.

Many of the people too.

I have grown up in alabama and lived there for 15 years. Maura, the filmaker of the video is my friend and has lived here too. I promise you there are countless beautiful people here trying to make it better.

Im sure they dont want you....

@@avelinacreates8637 It's one of the reddest states in the nation. There may be a lot of good people there trying to make things better. But there are a lot of idiots there making things worse by supporting the most corrupt political party America has ever had.

They enabled this system.

On the receiving end of some of that 40%.

They are busy profiting off of this corrupt system.

Giving your money to Israel and Ukraine.

Feds cannot intervene, thanks to states rights.
