    DESPICABLE. The State of Louisiana just approved prison (slave) labor of $0.04 per hour to work on statewide construction projects. Won on a 3-2 vote. This is utterly shameful. Share this & remember what the 13th Amendment is really all about.http://www.nola.com/politics/index.ssf/2018/05/louisiana_may_expand_use_of_pr.html …

        This, after they lay the groundwork to evict 30,000 elderly folks from their nursing homes. Louisiana has lost its mind. ...or are they living the @GOP Trumpian 1820 dream?https://www.thenewsstar.com/story/news/2018/05/07/nursing-home-eviction-notices-sent-week/585516002/ …

        This is so f***ing wrong. Not only is it slavery, it undercuts wages. Hey...we can make even more money if we criminalise more people and make them work for 4 cents an hour. And we can pay unimprisoned workers less too because they’ll have to compete. No!!

        I'm not surprised the state of Louisiana (Jeff Sessions) has more black men incarcerated than the whole state of California which has more than 30 prisons not to mention the black prisoners there have to work at a GOV mansion that looks like a plantation!
