Full title: Twitter Erupts Over News That Hillary Clinton Used Black Prison Labor While First Lady of Arkansas
Twitter users have reacted with surprise and fury over excerpts from Hillary Clinton’s 1996 book It Takes A Village. On June 6, Jeanette Jing, an activist with over 33,000 followers on Twitter who supports Clinton's Democratic opponent Sen. Bernie Sanders, shared two pages of the work in which Clinton reminisces about the black prisoners who worked in the Arkansas governor’s mansion she shared with her husband, Bill Clinton, who led the state from 1979 to 1981 and 1983 to 1992.
“When we moved in, I was told that using prison labor at the governor’s mansion was a longstanding tradition, which kept down costs,” Clinton writes. She adds that most of the workers were convicted murderers and she became friendly with “a few of them, African-American men in their thirties who had already served 12 to 18 years of their sentences.”
Despite her alleged friendships with these men, Clinton tells her readers: “We enforced rules strictly and sent back to prison any inmate who broke a rule.” Despite having no psychological qualifications, she later asserts that these men did not have “inferior IQs or an inability to apply moral reasoning” but instead they may have been “emotional illiterates.”

But it was OK because they were “house prisoners”.
If she had been around in 1850 she would have been one of the biggest slave owners in the country.

It took the libtards 21 years to get upset about this?
Pretty slow on the uptake aren’t they? LOL

Fort Leavenworth used inmates from the stockade to do lawn work and other chores around the post.
What’s the big deal?
They were glad to get out and did a lot of things cheep. It wasn’t `The Shawshank Redemption’.
Whenever I see a prison work gang out policing the roadside litter, I think, if I were ever "inside", I'd take that job if it were offered.
Beats sitting in the common room with the TV. THAT qualifies as cruel (though not unusual) punishment.
Amazing that the entire media keeps a lid on this for 33 years.

I live in Arkansas and the prison would have prisoners working in a lot of places. Probably still do, I know they have them cleaning up the highways.
