Look I do not agree with for profit prisons. I'm not defending it. I'm just stating facts. You can try to convince the 6-3 conservative majority supreme court that the 13th amendment needs to reinterpreted, see how far that takes you.
Literally what is a single basis for what you're saying? When has the SC ever struck down a law raising prison labor wages on the basis that prisons have a legally-protected right to slave labor? I genuinely think you have no idea what laws are if you can't tell a difference between a sanctioned right and the absence of a prohibition.
