There is a direct and obvious connection between chattel slavery, and the Prison Industrial Complex. All of this is allowed by the 13th Amendment, which says; Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, EXCEPT as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted. There is a conversation that America is having concerning slavery, and we allege that mass incarceration was only ever devised as a method of replacing a lost piece of the economy, as well as serving as a form of eugenics. We are making the connection between the New Jim Crow and the same old slavery; people caught up on plantations, generating massive revenue for a handful of individuals. This is a plague on our country- a cancer on our society. All of the statistics are showing that lynchings of the past are happening at the same pace as extrajudicial murders by professional law enforcement today. Clearly that is unacceptable. Modern American police, as direct descendants of slave patrollers/slave catchers, and Corrections officers murdering inmates/slaves, are doing the same as they did on the plantation yesteryear- overseeing slave beatings, torture and murders. I invite you to check out New Abolitionists Radio. A movement towards finally abolishing slavery, and making our system of restorative justice more humane and more effective, is a movement which truly needs all hands on deck. Again, the program broadcasts live every Wednesday night at 8:00PM EST, so please listen in, and/or join us on the Black Talk Radio Network blog, or our facebook page of the same name- New Abolitionists Radio.
