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 implementation of the Thirteenth Amendment; Whereas Congress finds the continued existence of slavery and involuntary servitude antithetical to the democratic values, norms, and mores of the United States and can undermine the moral credibility of our country on the global stage; Whereas our criminal justice system has the means to ensure people who have committed crimes are appropriately sentenced without resorting to slavery or involuntary servitude; Whereas Congress recognizes the value of high-quality work programs that provide useful skills and stability for people in correctional institutions, and it is not the intent of Congress to interfere with opportunities for incarcerated people to consent to work or to modify any employment protections currently available to people in correctional institutions; and Whereas Congress additionally acknowledges the importance of sentencing alternatives, and it is not the purpose of this amendment to interfere with the discretion of a court to offer community service as an alternative to incarceration: Now, therefore, be it
