Spreading the word

Once I can contribute to the Militant I will. I have spread the word about your paper to others whom may be able to contribute now. They all see the world how we see it.

Prisons exploit labor

It has been my focus for a while now to take a stand against oppression. The prison is basically kept in orderly operation by exploited labor. Prisoners do all maintenance work, laundry, food service and cleaning, all under overseers’ supervision. If this isn’t modern-day, legal slavery, I don’t know what is. And the Thirteenth Amendment of the Constitution permits slavery for those convicted of a crime as part of their punishment.
