it's honestly surprising how easy it is to get your hands on battery acidwhy, it's nearly as easy as buying a pack of batteries from target!

i don't think banning prison labor is going to resolve any issues that currently exist with wrongful convictions or unfair trials though to be fairi do think there's a correlation with the inflated amount of arrests/prison time for petty crimes in prison labor states, but i get what you mean
id like to see prison labor used in a more positive context, e.g. as an optional way to get a reduced sentencethat i'd be okay with.

what a forgetin idiot
prison labor, again, is only something you can participate in in this country if you've been convicted in a court of law by your peers. many indentured servants were kidnapped and given forged documentation and had no possible recourse because they effectively had no rights to participate in the legal or political systems in any waysounds like by law they are very similar, even if it was abused in practice. of course, wrongful convictions and falsified evidence exists, too.
A handful of counter-protesters were lobbing chemical irritants. I think that's a plastic bottle full of battery acid.jesus christ
what is false about it? they were convicted by a jury of their peers in a court of law and sentenced according to their crimesbecause many of the prisoners who are forced to do prison labor are people who are in for drug use. which is not a severe crime.
and half of them diedthat's why i'm saying indentured servitude is bad, my man. i'm only saying it draws parallels to prison labor.
many were not here by choice, they were political prisoners and vagrants
prison labor is not only ok but was explicitly constitutionally protected when slavery was abolished. people aren't kidnapped and thrown in jail, you have to commit a crime of sufficient severity to be sentenced to a term like that in the first placeindentured servants were servants by choice, not kidnapped. that's the whole point.
In fact, I don't see why statues being removed is a bigger outrage than an innocent girl being killed in a hit and run incident during a protest gone wrong.this is a good point. what a stupid distraction this is from that.
call them what you will,i assume you're against the prison industrial complex, too? prison labor is pretty much the equivalent of indentured servantry.
so the solution to this perceived ill is to destroy statues 4 generations old instead of erecting new ones?
152 years of economic growth after that is more importantwhat the forget
only 400,000 even went to the northern hemispheresorry, millions to the new world. the issue is still that there aren't as many statues for the people who were enslaved as there are of slavers and slaver apologists. which is stuffty.
