Prop. 6: Abolishing Involuntary Servitude in Prisons
Manage episode 442255502 series 2114722
The 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution banned slavery and involuntary servitude except as a punishment for convicted crimes. In dozens of states, including California, this exception has meant that thousands of incarcerated people have been forced to work or risk punishment, oftentimes for less than $1 per hour. Prop. 6 would amend the state constitution to ban forced labor in prisons.
This episode has been updated to clarify the status of California's volunteer firefighter program.
