    Yeah, especially since the majority of imprisoned people tend to be non-white (this is an issue with our justice system, I’m absolutely not saying non-whites do more crime, only they’re convicted far more often due to a racist system. A great many are innocent.) this will turn into 1 to 1 a facsimile of slavery from yesteryear. Bunch of white landowners leasing cheap labor (suspiciously predominantly non-white) from people who have no other legal options. Gross.
