Hopefully America can figure out how to end slavery for good soon.

You are assuming that the US political establishment has ever really wanted to end slavery. It's a very shaky assumption.

Sorry, best we can do is slavery with extra steps.

Shit, AITA that thinks inmates should be cleaning up trash on the side of roads?

Inmates actively DREAM of those jobs lol
Only people who have never had even a time out think work sucks when you are locked up

I hope IWOC-IWW can help organize around this bs. My first thought is sit down strikes. I feel like slave labor is particularly weak to that kind of action.
Counterpoint: solitary confinement sucks
they can't isolate every prisoner at the same time, and by engaging in a sit down strike, they can't fill those spots with people afraid to fight back.
