The exception clause in the 13th Amendment encouraged the imprisonment and re-enslavement of Black people during the Jim Crow era. We feel the impact of this systemic racism in the disproportionate incarceration rates of Black and Brown communities today. https://t.co/KNl45AYnE6 — PolitiTweet.org

The 13th Amendment banned slavery — except as punishment for a crime. In many states, and in the US Constitution, these exception clauses allow prisons to exploit, underpay, and exclude incarcerated people from workplace safety protection laws. — PolitiTweet.org

Now, incarcerated workers generate at least $2 billion worth of goods and $9 billion in prison maintenance services every year. On average, most workers are paid between 15 and 52 cents per hour. This exploitation helps subsidize the costs of our bloated prison system. — PolitiTweet.org
