IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
JUNE 14, 2023 
Ms. WILLIAMS of Georgia submitted the following joint resolution; which was 
referred to the Committee on the Judiciary 
JOINT RESOLUTION 
Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United 
States to prohibit the use of slavery and involuntary 
servitude as a punishment for a crime. 
Whereas the Constitution of the United States has prohibited 
slavery and involuntary servitude for many, but not all, 
people in the United States since December 6, 1865; 
Whereas the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution of 
the United States, which barred slavery and involuntary 
servitude, included an exception that allowed for slavery 
and involuntary servitude to continue as punishment for 
a crime; 
Whereas this exception resulted in hundreds of thousands of 
Black Americans being returned to slavery after imple-
mentation of the Thirteenth Amendment;
