If you think prison is equivalent to slavery, corporate needs to to find the difference between this picture and this picture
I know people are arguing in good faith and want prison reform. However, slavery apologists have captured this argument to minimize the suffering under chattel slavery. (no worse than going to prison) They also argue that the 13th is “white slavery” because half of all prisoners are white. If your the kind of person who understands the difference between an indentured servant and an enslaved person, then you need to understand that a prisoner, even one forced to work under the 13th, is a third thing.
This is very inaccurate. Slavery is not dependent on the level of physical torture inflicted, it is entirely based on whether or not you are forced to work without “adequate” pay. Even in chattel slavery, there were different classes within the enslaved like house slaves and field slaves. Slaves in poorer houses where there were only a few often were treated better than those on plantations, it all came down to expendability.
Comparing a white man, who would be of the most privileged of those arrested, that was just taken in (this is a mugshot) and comparing it to a lifelong enslaved black man person only highlights that your presentation is heavily skewed.
