CONVICT LEASING SYSTEM..... WOW! I always believe jail is another form of slavery ....but read the loophole While most believe that the 13th Amendment abolished slavery and involuntary servitude, a loophole was opened that resulted in the widespread continuation of slavery in the Southern states of America--slavery as punishment for a crime. According to the 13th Amendment, Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, nor any place subject to their jurisdiction. digitalhistory.uh.edu/disp_textbook.cfm?smtid=2&psid=3179
