Products connected with prison labor can reportedly be found on major supermarket shelves, including at Kroger, Target, Aldi and Whole Foods. The 13th Amendment of the Constitution prohibits slavery and involuntary servitude, except when it is a punishment for a crime. The clause that permits forced prison labor has been challenged at a federal level and efforts are underway to remove similar language from state constitutions. AP reports that some prisoners in Louisiana, with one of the highest U.S. incarceration rates, are working on the same plantation soil where slaves toiled over 150 years ago.
