OP notes that prisons in america now charge you for your stay.
Meaning it’s a one-way ticket. You never really got rid of slavery.
Correct. Enslaving prisoners was amended into our Constitution. Fear of that enslavement keeps most people in line.
You’d hate to hear where law’s like loitering is illegal come from.
The idea behind them was basically to book the released slaves and then rent them out to the farms again.
