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 place

Beyond it being kinda dumb to destroy public property, I don't get why this is as big of an outrage as it is.
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.
