    Oh. Work is the same. But as a prisoner you get even less money. Between 0,12dollars and 1,41.

      So the main difference between slavery and work is you get paid less, and don’t have the option of being permanently unemployed and homeless.

        Are you being for real right now?

        You are aware that the thirteenth amendment (the one that abolishes slavery) explicitly allows for slavery to continue “as punishment”.

        This isn’t like some weird leftist take, slavery is quite literally legal in US prisons.

          I don’t get why my comment is so disliked, I don’t feel I said anything controversial, I’m basically just saying that modern day work is slavery.
