In 2016, a coalition of community leaders and prison inmates calling themselves the Free Alabama Movement released a document entitled "Our Freedom Bill." Among other stipulations, this manifesto demanded the elimination of "all laws that permit slavery" in Alabama. This request was not quite as extreme as it might have seemed. While the Thirteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, ratified in 1865, did abolish slavery, it provided an exception for jobs performed "as a punishment for a crime." As a result of this loophole, almost every prison inmate in the United States, if physically and mentally able, works for little or no compensation. ? The variety of prison employment is enormous, from on-site maintenance and kitchen duty, to firefighting, to building products for companies such
as McDonald's, Wal-Mart, and Victoria's Secret. At the most, inmates in federal prisons receive salaries of up to $1.14 an hour. At the least, a number of states, including Alabama, do not pay inmates at all. To draw attention to this version of "slavery," on September 9, 2016, members of the Free Alabama Movement at the William C. Holman Correctional Facility in Atmore organized a strike. That day, about 75 inmates at Holman refused to work. Over the next several weeks, as news of this action spread through social media, approximately 24,000 prisoners in twelve other states joined the cause. ? The inmate work strike was not the only sign of labor unrest at Holman prison that month. On September 24, nine correctional officers stayed home to protest the institution's chronic understaffing. Holman had already experienced a number of violent riots that year, and on September 1, an inmate had fatally stabbed a correctional officer following a dispute over food portions. "Officers are refusing to go in the cells because of the violence and won't respond to emergency situations because they think it's too dangerous," said one inmate, who claimed that four stabbings a day were taking place at Holman. "Basically, prisoners are just policing themselves." The fact that prisons provide all of the necessities for existence to those who live within their boundaries makes them a A. vocational community. B. total institution. C. therapeutic community. D. all of the above.
