Probably an Amendment that needs amending.

It was used en masse with turn of the century vagrancy laws to arrest Black people who didn't have enough cash on hand, then send them to other states to work and/or die in coal mines as essentially slave labor.

Even happened to children who committed minor crimes.

The 13th Amendment provides incentive to incarcerate, and with private prison industries existing period, that incentive probably should not exist at all.

What about for the tens of thousands that are demonstrably innocent and still serving time?

Every single innocence project has years or decades of backlogged cases.
