Description
Slavery on the new plantation draws striking parallels between the modern American prison system and historical slavery. The zine examines how the prison industrial complex exploits marginalized communities, particularly Black and Brown individuals, through mass incarceration, privatization of prisons, and the commodification of labor, thus continuing the legacy of exploitation that began with slavery.
