Viral tweets are dunking on Tennessee for just now voting to outlaw slavery. But we should really be asking why others aren't doing the same.
The ballot measures in Alabama, Tennessee, and Vermont won’t take immediate effect but they create grounds for legal challenges against prison policies that force incarcerated people to work or threaten them with sanctions that include loss of certain “privileges,” like phone calls.
Notably, the 13th Amendment explicitly allows incarcerated people to be enslaved as punishment for their crimes.But the utter WTF factor isn’t necessarily that ballot measures to prohibit prison labor didn’t pass—rather, there’s been some understandable public guffawing at the wording of the ballot measures. Voters were quite literally presented with a choice of whether to outlaw slavery in the year-of-our-lord 2022 and, so far, only three states have clearly voted to do so.
