This slave plantation from the 1800s is now a prison where new inmates pick cotton for a few years until the get a "better" job

Well yeah, Angola has been notorious for over a century.

I was under the impression that most other prison farms had been gotten rid of decades ago, though (e.g. the old Atlanta Prison Farm, which closed in '90, although we're still getting fucked over by its legacy because that's where Cop City got built). Apparently I'm mistaken, but it was the impression I had.
