Sorry to take this on a tangent, but am I missing something? How would this not be allowed, but picking up litter on the side of the road is?

Prisoners at Angola have been farm and livestock workers since it opened essentially.

I mean, it's called 'The Farm' for a reason.

it probably is allowed. as is litter pickup, as is farming. once you're incarcerated/convicted, that "except" comes into play.

slavery/involuntary servitude is now under the purview of the State. the state now owns the convicted person.

that's what it says.

it's not that hard.
