How was convict leasing a loophole of the Thirteenth Amendment? A)
Convict leasing allowed for convicts to be rented for work in exchange for
boarding as prisons were overflowing.
B)
Convict leasing allowed former slaveholders to keep control over a
percentage of their slaves in indentured servitude.
Convicts under the Thirteenth Amendment were forced to work for free,
but were guaranteed humane and reasonable working conditions.
Convicts technically were not slaves and therefore could be used to work
railways, mines, and plantations with no pay and under inhumane
conditions
