"Slavery has taken the modern form of mass incarceration. In fact, the United States has the highest prison population in the world. Around 2.2 million Americans are currently incarcerated with 4.5 million on probation or parole. What’s even more disturbing is that even though Black people make up 13% of the general population, they make up 34 percent of the 6.8 million people in the justice system. That labor is used to produce goods and services for businesses that benefit from prison labor."
