Except in states with for-profit prisons that use prison (slave) labor.

Forced labor is a nice way of saying slavery

Boring, stale and half-honest talking point.

Comparing it to actual slave labor is such an American thing to do.

Slavery comes in many forms. Dismissing some of them because they don't seem "as bad" is incredibly ignorant and shitty.

Positive news??!! What the ?!?!?! this is refreshing to read!
