"A Disturbing Trend in Agriculture: Prisoner-Picked Vegetables
Some states are turning to their prisons to make up for farmworker shortages.
APR 14, 2014·
Late last fall, Idaho state Sen. Patti Anne Lodge, R-Huston, stood in an unpicked orchard. The trees were heavy with apples, some rotting on the ground around her. The window of time to harvest was over. “The apples were just hanging frozen on the tree, a whole orchard, because they couldn’t get anybody to pick them,” said Lodge. “I wish I had taken a picture.”
But Lodge isn’t a photographer; she’s a legislator. So instead, she sponsored a bill in the spring 2014 legislative session that she believes will prevent future harvests from going to waste. S.B. 1374, which was signed into law by Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter on March 26, will enable private employers to hire state prisoners for agricultural labor."

"US farmers using prison labor
With tightening restrictions on migrant workers, some farmers are turning to the incarcerated.
In Arizona, inmates have been working for private agriculture businesses for almost 20 years."

"Constitution of United States of America 1789 (rev. 1992)
Section 1
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."
Not what I was talking about, but do go on with your red herring.
