Petition to Abolish Prison Slavery
Thursday, July 12, 2007
Hello,
Would you like to sign the Petition to Abolish Prison Slavery? This is the Thirteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution. This is the Amendment we were told (in junior high school) that abolished all slavery after the Civil War in America. Remember?
The problem is that there is an EXCEPTION for slavery hidden between two commas within the Thirteenth Amendment.
UNITED NATIONS PETITION TO ABOLISH PRISON SLAVERY
I hereby sign this United Nations Petition to Abolition Prison Slavery in support of changing the Thirteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution so as to remove the offensive exception for "slavery…as a punishment for crime…" with the return of citizenship, labor and human rights for all.
Thirteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution (1865)
"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".
So as to read:
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude shall exist within
The Petition to Abolish Prison Slavery is a joint Congressional/United Nations petition to remove the EXCEPTION for slavery found within the Thirteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution specifically within the United States; and within any country, prison, jail, or torture chamber "any place subject to their jurisdiction".
Today, the massive expansion of "slavery…as a punishment" represents a conservatively estimated 14 to 33 million caged and chained prison slaves internationally, with over 2.4 to 7.6 million men, women, and children in the USA at this very hour, not including the prison/war slaves of Iraq, Afghanistan, Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib, Baghdad, Palestine, Hutto, etal.
As with the postbellum Black Codes, today lower offenses are raised to felony status while private prison construction companies, private prison corrections corporations, related prison expansionists and maintenance outsourcing similar to the old convict lease system is now making trillions of dollars world wide. This is to be expected because slavery has always been profitable. Without "profit", slavery would cease to exist.
