US has more people caged just *pretrial*, presumed innocent (500,000) than everyone imprisoned in India.

With Juneteenth approaching, it’s a good time to discuss change. It’s not hyperbole to say the prison industrial complex is modern day slavery. The 13th amendment abolished slavery and involuntary servitude EXCEPT for those convicted of a crime. It’s time to end the exception https://t.co/wDFC3tBxTr

under the 13th amendment, slavery is legal as punishment for a crime. the prison industrial complex is one of the “innovations” of capitalism. it’s a part of the market. law enforcement does not prevent crime, it punishes it. with literal slavery. our taxes fund these atrocities. https://t.co/PjbzseKp4W
