In this compelling episode, Lizbeth and Rachel delve into the history of the convict labor system that is built on a past of slavery and "chain gangs" which transformed into the convict leasing system. The discussion presents diverse perspectives on the convict labor system and why some people strongly defend it, while others show strong opposition. Shedding light on the inherent abuses and injustices within this corrupt system, this episode navigates through contemporary issues in the prison system, highlights harsh working conditions, meager wages, and coerced labor in the present-day convict labor landscape. Furthermore, it discusses the ongoing efforts to combat these injustices, including protests, unions, and legislative initiatives, leaving listeners to contemplate the system's successes or failures in achieving meaningful change.
