Or something which sounds an awful lot like it.Slave labor?
Some more info from the twitter user in the op.I'm not expecting anything, I was just adding context to the title of the thread. You had a question mark behind the term slave labor and so I thought you might be confused about why someone might use that term to describe prisoners working in that capacity. This isn't a new or unique perspective, on what some call "The New Jim Crow", as can be seen, below :@DirtyD look, I'm not new to this issue of incarceration and what not...but she's literally talking about prisoners working at the governors mansion of Arkansas.
The fukk you expect?
To the untrained eye, the scenes in Angola for Life: Rehabilitation and Reform Inside the Louisiana State Penitentiary, an Atlantic documentary filmed on an old Southern slave-plantation-turned-prison, could have been shot 150 years ago.

American Slavery, ReinventedBut there is a second storyline running alongside the first, which raises disquieting questions about how America treats those on the inside as less than fully human.

I'm sure they only used light skinned black slaves indoors and dark skinned one outdoors too.
Seriously, prisoners do all types of work for the state. This shyt ain't new. I bet them dudes weren't mad about having kitchen duty in the Governor's mansion.
All jokes aside there's no need to sensationalize this as it's done in almost every state in the country to some extent.
