PAR35 posted from the US Constitution in rebuttal to Jaye Ryan, the article author: 13th Amendment, Section 1: Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

The party(s) haven't been duly convicted.

You keep squawking about "slavery", in order to distract from the "or" clause: "involuntary servitude".

Imprisoned, not "duly convicted" and forced to pay "road agent" rates to the private monopoly comes under the heading of involuntary servitude [involuntary servitude is a United States legal and constitutional term for a person laboring against that person's will to benefit another, under some form of coercion other than the worker's financial needs.] Someone labored to produce the money to pay off the monopoly.

You're hoist by your own post, PAR35.
