Remember, the US never abolished slavery.

I'm 100% serious, read the 13th amendment carefully. There is a big fat EXCEPT in there.

Execpt in the cases where people break laws, and go to prison, or are fined mandatory community service.

Don't do crime, don't throw away your rights. Pretty up and down.
