labor. I well remember my grandfather talking of working for a dime a day during late 20's and early 30's ( depression ), and saying how glad he was to earn it. What i am trying to convey to readers is : In 1865 legal black slavery ended with the civil war , but legal slavery for all races in the south began and continues to today , but today they call it minium wage.
1133:, which is pretty thoroughly documented within wikipedia on those two pages. This article already links to both of those pages, and both link back here. Such prison labor can still be accurately described as "involuntary servitude" but I think it's going too far to say that convict leasing never ended. My $ 0.02. -- 1147:
My direct knowledge is limited to the New York State prison system, but there the "forced" labor is sought after and competed for.

Retrieved 2013-07-28. is given as a citation for this statement, but I see no evidence in the source to suggest that, '...both black legislators and whites in the criminal justice system colluded with private planters...' in it. 1078:
I've removed the mention of black legislatures colluding. There is no evidenced provided. The first black U.S. congressman were elected in 1870s. To insinuate that black legislators took office after the end of slavery and contributed to convict leasing programs seems outlandish and false.

of 25-40¢ an hour was pretty good (this was almost 10 years ago), and there wasn't much to spend money on. It broke the monotony, and in some cases let the inmates feel they were making a contribution to society. NYS Motor Vehicles had and I think still has an inmate-staffed call center.

Deleted Zito as a source; he is a student in college; it was not published in a journal. His article was mostly about current issues in privatization of prisons, and cited articles on that topic, rather than historic sources. Other sources are better for the post-Civil War

I don't see from the references how this is OR. What the sources need to prove is the notability of the subject and they need to verify the content in the article. Also the article does provide citations. I am untagging it.

This entire page needs to be seriously overhauled. Convict leasing began in Louisiana in 1844, which completely undermines the basis for the argument that it started with emancipation.
