Proposition 6 aims to close the loophole in California's Constitution that allows jails and prisons to impose involuntary servitude on incarcerated persons.
The conversation about Proposition 6 brings light to California inmates' forced labor, including well-known cases of inmates fighting wildfires and working in poultry processing.
Prop 6 intends to amend the California Constitution to eliminate current provisions that permit prisons to require inmates to work as punishment.
