    This is not specific at all to the U.S. and the overwhelming majority of rational adults should be able to see that it’s a good thing for society to be able to legally remove members who pose a clear risk to the safety and function of it. Whether or not the 13th Amendment is administered fairly is a different conversation^1, but the false equivalency this post makes between legal imprisonment and chattel slavery is a fallacy.

    ^1 It’s not.

      This isn’t about removing people from society. It’s about the practice of using them to perform free labor.

          Yes, you can use slaves to offset the cost of their upkeep. That argument sucks.

              ETHICALLY it’s not volunteering if it’s coerced, and I can’t think of many things more coercive than the promise of more prison.

                  Its not the promise of more prison, its an offer of less prison. The difference between coercion and incentive.

                  No. There’s a distinction but not a difference.
