- Title
The New Abolition: The Legal Consequences of Ending All Slavery and Involuntary Servitude.
- Authors
Bamieh, Ryanne
- Abstract
The Thirteenth Amendment outlaws slavery and involuntary servitude with one notable exception--those convicted of a crime. Incarcerated workers can, and often are, forced to work for abysmal pay. While the federal amendment has little hope of changing, recent efforts to amend state constitutions to outlaw all forms of involuntary servitude and slavery within particular states offer hope to our nation's incarcerated workers. This Note chronicles those state developments and argues that they will enable incarcerated workers not only to choose whether to work, but also to get paid minimum wage for their work.
