Practices that are routine in U.S. prisons, like shackling women during childbirth and unpaid forced labor, are an “affront to human dignity,” and represent the “worst version of a racist criminal legal system” that perpetuates slavery to the present day, according to the U.N. report.

      Slavery is legal foe the incarcerated, so it should be no surprise that they are treated with the same respect that slaves have always been in this shitty country.

      No respect whatsoever, because we are horribly racist.
