M.S. Bellows, Jr.@juergen_hubert @woo @Catawu @mcc The U.S. incarceration system literally is a response to a seemingly-harmless clause in the 13th Amendment: "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, >>>except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted<<<, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." Slavers and other racists realized that mass prosecution of Blacks could partially reinstate slavery, and then that, hey, cool, it also can be used to keep them from voting!
