Alabama Modern Slavery... Penal slavery...

[5fish]

Alabama is keeping prisoners in jail longer to work in local businesses...

Is Alabama just keeping people incarcerated to continue using them as cheap labor?

As they state in the video, if the Alabama Parole Board followed its own guidelines, it would grant parole in ~80% of cases. Instead, that number dropped to just 8% in 2023.

“Alabama is farming out incarcerated people to work at hundreds of companies, including McDonald’s and Wendy’s. The state takes 40% of wages and often denies parole to keep people as cheap labor. Getting written up can lead to solitary confinement. This is modern day slavery.”

You're the one who claims people consent to their government when I've proved that they don't, but all you do is complain about the result without seeing ANY connection.

There is no connection; it is still the southern historic exploitation of its minorities...

Such attitudes are counterproductive.

I grew up in the South. Most of what has happened in the South over the last 60 years is that Jim Crow era racism has morphed into what was called Northern Racism 60 plus years ago. It means it is not openly shouted, but behind closed doors racism lives and it influences policies even today... These prisons in Alabama today are a reflection of that...

Convict Leasing in Jim Crow... not Chain Gangs...

Yes yes, I read LOTS of books.

So just one question: why isn't this the case in every OTHER country that had emancipation?

The only independent variable is the 1861 self-coup.
