Prologue
“Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime … shall exist within the United States…”
- Thirteenth Amendment to the
United States Constitution, 1865
(emphasis added)
New Slavery Laws Pass Supreme Court Muster
by Charlotte Eaker
Special to the Washington Post, 4 July 2021. By a vote of 7 to 2, the Supreme Court upheld the right of states to use slavery as a punishment for crime, stating that the 13th Amendment did not prohibit such practice, and that while the punishment was “unusual,” it was not necessarily “cruel” under the 8th Amendment.
Four states so far have instituted legal slavery as part of the Shame Coalition’s political agenda, which is designed to use public humiliation and degradation as a tool to promote a lessening of criminal and antisocial behavior.
Three states have also permitted the use of voluntary slavery for economic gain, in which people sell themselves for a stated period of time for an agreed-upon sum. The courts are expected to uphold these laws as well, as long as appropriate legal protections are available for such slaves.
Another part of the Court’s decision permits the use of various mind-altering drugs and devices for criminal slaves to ensure their obedience and good behavior; such drugs and devices can only be used for voluntary slaves if their contracts permit.
Public reaction has been mixed, especially on those parts of the law specifically permitting s****l use of slaves.
