Slavery hasn't gone anywhere. It, like everything else, evolves and changes.  This week we talk about the U.S. prison system.  Specifically, the beginning; the key players who would set the stage for an entire generation gone missing.  Consider this a first in a series of episodes on this topic.  End mass incarceration and prison for profit.  Shout out to Daniel Collins of @confessionsofaconvict for being a voice for the voiceless.
