The finding aligns with the harrowing accounts of second-century AD writer Apuleius, whose Metamorphoses IX 11-13 describes the backbreaking labour endured by men, women, and animals in ancient mills and bakeries.
I like how one of the five places that has a higher per capita rate than the US (El Salvador, Cuba, Rwanda, Turkmenistan, American Samoa) is an American territory.
Sure, except there’s estimated 50 million people worldwide currently enslaved. So outlawing this shit hasn’t really done that much sadly considering there’s now more people enslaved than ever.

Its explicitly allowed in the US if you’re a prisoner, by the constitution. We have literal bakery-prisons to this day :) isn’t it great
Then take a look at comparative incarceration rates around the world, and ask yourself who these numbers are made up by.
It’s pretty clear who is picking the cotton even today.

More people, but a MUCH smaller percentage.
