From Plantations to Prisons: A Legacy of Forced Labor Many Southern prisons sit on former slave plantations, where incarcerated individuals still work the fields under armed supervision, echoing America’s dark past. 🔹 **Angola Prison (LA)** – Once the Angola Plantation, now the largest max-security prison in the U.S. 🔹 **Parchman Farm (MS)** – Established as a penal farm, mirroring plantation slavery. 🔹 **Cummins & Tucker Units (AR)** – Built on plantation land, known for forced labor. 🔹 **Eastham & McConnell Units (TX)** – Cotton field labor continues under strict supervision. The **13th Amendment loophole** allows forced prison labor, sparking calls for reform. Activists demand an end to modern-day slavery in America’s penal system. #BreakingNewsNYC #PrisonReform #blockworkmedia #EndPrisonSlavery #BlackHistory #JusticeForAll
