      Some states will do that which is why you rob a bank making it a federal case. Generally, federal prisons are better than state prisons in the United States.

      Meaning it’s a one-way ticket. You never really got rid of slavery.

        Correct. Enslaving prisoners was amended into our Constitution. Fear of that enslavement keeps most people in line.

        You’d hate to hear where law’s like loitering is illegal come from.

        The idea behind them was basically to book the released slaves and then rent them out to the farms again.

        Take an hour to watch this to get all of it.
