Louisiana prisoner suit claims they’re forced to endure dangerous conditions at Angola prison farm

  • Inmates at Louisiana State Penitentiary are suing over being forced to work in the fields without pay in extreme heat, a practice they argue is cruel and violates their constitutional rights.
  • The lawsuit, filed by four current and former prisoners along with an organization representing incarcerated individuals, alleges that the work is purely punitive and serves no legitimate purpose. They are seeking a court declaration that the forced labor is unconstitutional and an end to the practice.
  • The United States has historically incarcerated more people than any other country, and the 13th Amendment's exception for those "duly convicted" of a crime allows inmates to be compelled to work. This lawsuit challenges the exploitation of prisoners and highlights issues related to racial disparities and disability accommodations.
