On Wednesday, Feb. 24, the Africana Studies program hosted the second part of a four part roundtable series on the carceral state in Appalachia, with a focus on the historical roots of mass incarceration in the region that UT calls home.
The roundtable discussion was animated in large part by the fact that the 13th Amendment, enacted at the end of the Civil War, abolished slavery except as punishment for a crime.Â
This exception renders slavery still legal under the U.S. Constitution as a condition for convicted criminals and is the legal bedrock for the racialized American system of mass incarceration. Wednesdayâs event sought to trace the development of this system in Appalachia, a region that is often sidelined in this chapter of history.
