If I’m following news properly, these are probably the juveniles who were taken from their holding facility to fight fires. They are not compensated for this work, but are placed in harm’s way.
That doesn’t sound like work at all. That sounds like something where someone is a prisoner and is forced to work for someone. That’s called something, I think.
Not making an argument for it, but technically they’re using the exception to the amendment. Most states, including California, have it in their state amendments, so unless they put in another Federal amendment it’s going to remain this way.
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist
What’s this have to to with work?

Thirteenth Amendment
Yeah, and you can use the word. The thirteenth amendment says in no uncertain terms that SLAVERY is legal…if it’s the punishment for a crime.
Very little. Anti work and work reform communities have turned into generalized working/not rich class communities.
