Slavery is illegal except for prisoners. Forcing prisoners to work is perfectly constitutional.

The bill of rights is wrong and must be admended. Closing this loop hole will kill the for profit prison industrial complex.

The only thing Capitalists love more than wage theft is slavery

It's been that way since the end of the civil war.

It won't kill the for profit prisons, this is just an aspect of how for profit prisons make profit.

They should ban for profit prisons outright.

Btw, the bill of rights is only the first 10 amendments. The 13th is just an amendment.
