California Voters Reject Ban on Forced Prison Labor
TL;DR Summary
California voters have rejected a constitutional amendment that would have banned forced labor in any form, maintaining the current exception for punishment of crime. This measure was part of a broader reparations effort addressing historical racism and discrimination against Black Californians. The decision contrasts with recent moves by other states like Alabama and Oregon, which have removed similar exceptions from their constitutions.
