It just put one very simple condition on the practice. In the very first line it says, quote, neither slavery nor involuntary servitude except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted shall exist within the United States or any place subject to their jurisdiction. And so we get the prison industrial complex.

And although many people have contributed to this modern slavery and the racial bias of its selection process, Perhaps no one has contributed more to it than this man, Joseph R. Biden. In 1986, Joe Biden authored and championed the Anti-Drug Abuse Act, which, among other things, imposed extremely harsh penalties on crack cocaine use versus powdered cocaine.

In 1986, Joe Biden authored and championed the Anti-Drug Abuse Act, which, among other things, imposed extremely harsh penalties on crack cocaine use versus powdered cocaine.

The penalties for crack cocaine were 100 times stricter than for regular powdered cocaine. So the minimum sentencing was five years for five grams of crack. Or five years for 500 grams of powdered cocaine. You might notice in the snippet from the New York Times here that it says this was an amendment to the 1984 minimum sentencing bill. Joe Biden championed that bill too.

In fact, all throughout the 70s and 80s, Joe Biden was at the front of the charge to expand the power of the prison system. And he authored numerous acts to expand prison populations that were written in ways that clearly skewed towards black Americans. I probably don't need to remind you that it was our own CIA that was flooding poor black neighborhoods with crack cocaine at the time.

And so, from 1973, when these laws started passing and prisons started expanding until 2009, when this trend peaked, the imprisonment rate in America increased sevenfold. We went from just a couple hundred thousand people in prison to over 1.5 million. Except by some data sets, it's over 2 million and has been since 2005, depending on who you trust.

When you look up official Department of Justice fact sheets, though, they conveniently show the data going back just to 2009, when prison populations had peaked. So it looks in this graph like prison populations are decreasing. What a convenient way to present it. You see, they just show this last little decrease at the end there highlighted in pink. Pay no attention to Joe Biden's legacy.
