ouchIn 1997, an American businessman was able to capture video footage of a truck full of clips leaving the prison. ABC's Nightline broke the story, and Allied was charged with violating a 1932 US law that prohibits importing goods produced in prison or with forced labor.
The company pleaded guilty and was fined $50,000.
modern slavery
Imo the root of the problem lies in the adults in third world countries that have so much offspring - having 6-10 kids pretty much guarantees that many of them will have a troubling upbringing. It's hard enough for most folks in america having 6 kids to raise, and it must be a fucking nightmare for most in those poorer regions.
The sad part is, a lot of people don't realize that slavery doesn't just occur in third world countries or in far off places in the world. A lot of it happens in developed nations as well. In developed nations, a large part of it involves human trafficking, for example, the sex trade. A lot of women are smuggled from poorer nations with the promise of a better life, only to find themselves being traded for sex. Since they are smuggled in, they are afraid of the authorities and are often threatened and abused into submission.

the dutch invented slavery apperently 
[i]And shepherds we shall be, for thee my Lord for thee, Power hath descended forth from thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out thy command, we shall flow a river forth to thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be. In nomine patris, et fili, et spiritus sancti.[/i]
ok, thats a big relief!

Actually the Dutch just invented trade routes. Africans invented slavery and sold their goods (the slaves) to the Dutch. The Dutch did not enslave anyone, they mearly bought the slaves.Ryoki wrote:Nonsense... we merely turned a few smalltime slave selling operations into a healthy wholesale industry.dmmh wrote:the dutch invented slavery apperently
