"I told you we'd make Massachusetts pay for it. I said Massachusetts. I said that all along. You know, Massachusetts, they're not sending their best. Their sending clam chowder, the Celtics, and the Bruins. Sad."

The constitution allows it.
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted.

. This is the first time I've heard someone publicly advocate for slave labor in this country though.

It's only the seventh day of 2017 and US officials wish to use involuntary labour to build walls in a xenophobic bid to massage the egos of fascists.

... Im not advocating, im just sayin. You said proposing, but these prisons have been doing it and are doing it right now as we speak because they are allowed to.Historically speaking, I actually find it interesting that they abolish slavery and put that loophole in there to allow mass incarceration of blacks as a substitute to slavery.

I've been wondering, if a prisoner refuses to labor, what happens? Do their sentences get extended or something?
they had a strike in prison recently so I don't think so

I'm sure a lot of locked up dudes would welcome the chance to work and have time pass by more quickly. Forcing people to work doesn't sit right but I would imagine they'll have plenty of volunteers who want to gtfo of their cell for a little while.
