    Section 1 of the 13th amendment.

    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.

      Here, you see exactly why we don’t seen release of petty drug possession prisoners, just as few as possible to be performative.

      For-profit prisons shouldn’t exist.
