Time for Americans, who have been waging a racialized drug war for half a century in order to fill their prisons with slave labourers, to care about a black person who smuggled drugs across an international border.



That’s gonna be a no from me, dog

Are you talking about how in some prisons, inmates are made to work? I mean, even in such a case, inmates probably don't make enough to offset what they are costing the taxpayers. I don't think they throw people in jail with the aim to make money. These people cost more than they produce.

Google the 13th amendment and read it carefully.

It's slave labour, and America makes extensive use of it. America never abolished slavery, it just crime-washed it.

No one cares. No one cared about the WNBA before, no one cares about it or its players now. Even in this clear Russian sending a message situation, still no one cares.

I looked up the 13th and it said except as a punishment for a crime. And these inmates have indeed committed crimes. They need to repay their debts to society. It is perfectly acceptable to make them do work without pay. They are already being paid in a way: they get free housing, free food, health care...etc. And they don't deserve any of this. They are criminals who have broken the laws and possibly harmed others. They should be grateful we don't inflict something cruel and unusual on them.

Is she a Democrat or Republican? Gotta know before I decide whether this is a cause for celebration or an outrage.

I'm a patriot btw.

Thank you for admitting that prison labour is slavery, and that they deserve it for petty drug crimes.

although she hates America, that's her right as an American. i assume there will be some backchannel haggling in the next 6 months and we'll give up a prized terrorist or two in exchange.
