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.
except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted.Even the American Constitution considers it slavery.
Wasn't commenting on whether that exception should be there or not. Just pointing out the 13th Amendment agrees with people who consider penal labor a form of slavery. Honestly don't care.except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted.
I realize that having prisoners perform labor for dirt cheap causes all kinds of problems, but since I obey the laws and have to work full time, I do object to the fact that commiting a crime worthy of prison gets you a cot, and three square meals a day while you get to fuck off al day and do nothing on my dime.
you do know what except means right?Wasn't commenting on whether that exception should be there or not. Just pointing out the 13th Amendment agrees with people who consider penal labor a form of slavery. Honestly don't care.
He's not saying the constitution forbids it, he's saying that the constitution considers penal labor a form of slavery. It's a semantics thing.you do know what except means right?
For some reason I couldn't quote the whole thing, so I assumed you quoted a deleted post or something, so gave you the benifit of the doubt, but that actually means that under the constituation slave labor for prisoners is the only time it's acceptable.
So, what was your point?
I mean they treat it as if they didn’t deserve it lolNo, just you.
I would contend the the Constitution, per the part you read, considers it "involuntary servitude", not slavery, since indentured servants' contracts eventually end, the same way a prison sentence does.Even the American Constitution considers it slavery.
