Abolish Slavery in Kentucky. Our Kentucky State Constitution (Section 25) and Federal 13th Amendment contain an exception clause that permits slavery when someone is convicted of a crime. While most of the world views slavery as a crime against humanity, our justice system capitalizes on that exception clause by requiring labor for little or no pay and with no recourse for abusive or poor working conditions. For example, in Federal prisons, inmates are paid $0.12 cents to $0.40 cents per hour, which is not nearly enough to cover basic hygiene supplies, phone calls, and emails to loved ones. These conditions meet the definition of slavery. You are invited to sign one of the petitions circulating among the congregation today.
