Exactly. It is a form of modern day slavery in many US states.

Just wait until the current regime finishes their plans, which include hacking the exception in Section 1 of the Thirteenth Amendment [0] to bring back slavery for prisoners.

>> 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.

The person occupying the Vice President's chair stated clearly [1] "Medicaid cuts in Senate tax bill 'immaterial' compared to ICE increases".

They aren't building all those for-profit prisons for nothing.

Beware.
