Thirteenth Amendment Trapdoor, Prison Slave Labor

Kanye West's call to "abolish" the 13th Amendment refers to the "trapdoor" clause that allows for involuntary servitude as punishment for a crime. This legal loophole enables corporations to utilize cheap prison labor, which West likens to modern-day slavery. The discussion notes that many American companies benefit from this system while simultaneously criticizing labor practices in China.
