@CriticalCupcake Same thing here in Oregon, and also Alabama. The critical thing to note is that many people have turned a blind eye to forced prison labor, believing it to be just punishment instead of actual, real-life slavery. Especially when we also question the justice off the sentencing, slavery as a penalty becomes an even more egregious injustice.

It's easy to call Tennessee backwards and stop looking. But do look because Tennessee isn't the last place to need look for this. #politics
