The Perpetuation of Slavery Through Constitutional & Criminal Law

The practice of placing human beings in subjugation or captivity and forcing them to do burdensome and degrading labor has not changed. For a country that was founded on slavery for profit, even after formal slavery, it continues to do what it needs to, to maintain free labor in developing its capital base. Now that the U.S. sits in the world’s number one power position, there is no forbidden territory for maintaining that position. The prison industrial complex is just one example of what it is willing to do to maintain its capital and promote its agenda.
