    First off, I apologize for my brusk tone. I’m sorry you had to experience that first-hand, and we have that in common. It’s not something I often talk about (I can count on one hand, in the last 20+ years since), but I want you to know that I hear you.

    If anyone was obtuse, it was me for failing to clarify that the prison system==slavery I was referring to is the forced labor of our incarcerated that was literally written into the 13th Amendment and infallible proof that slavery as we’re taught never ended.
