@glower125 No, because the 13th amendment say that slavery is illegal BUT it can still be used as a force of punishment for a crime.

And if this makes the prisoners feel less than human, then GOOD maybe next time they will think before they commit another crime when they get out of prison.

The average cost to care for an inmate per year is $100000, consider the cable tv, food, and housing your pay.
