someone brought to my attention the wording of the 13th amendment...

<span style="font-size: 14pt">Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, <span style="font-weight: bold">except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted</span>, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.</span>
