Five states asked voters to close that loophole this week. The ballot measures passed in Alabama, Tennessee, Vermont and Oregon. A measure in Louisiana failed, at least in part due to confusion about the wording of the amendment. In recent years, there’s been growing scrutiny of how prisons use inmates for labor, said Claudia Flores, a professor at Yale Law School. “We essentially rely on incarcerated peoples to maintain these prisons, and these people are making sometimes no money, sometimes very little money,” she said. Some prisons even rent out inmate labor for profit, to pick crops or process poultry. Prisoner advocates say it resembles the Jim Crow-era practice of convict leasing, when states like Louisiana sold the labor of Black inmates to plantations and businesses that could no longer rely on slaves. “And then there are states that are using prison labor to do jobs that other people wouldn’t want to do, because they’re either dangerous, or they’re difficult for whatever reason,” Flores said. But ballot measures banning slavery and indentured servitude might not apply to these situations, said Andrea Armstrong, a law professor at Loyola University New Orleans. Technically, she said, not all this labor is forced, and so it might not meet the legal definition of slavery … though inmates often don’t have much of a choice. “They can be punished in lots of different ways that you and I can’t be punished if we were to refuse to work,” she said. Still, Armstrong said, the measures are drawing attention to an issue that has long been invisible to much of the public.

AFTER several weeks of wandering the desert after their escape from Egypt, the Israelites were hungry, the Bible says, and started grumbling. So God conjured up two things for them to eat. In the evening, there were quails. “In the morning,” the Book of Exodus says, “there was a layer of dew around the camp. When the layer of dew evaporated, behold, on the surface of the wilderness there was a fine flake-like thing, fine as frost on the ground. When the sons of Israel saw it, they said to one another, ‘What is it?’ ” In ancient Hebrew, “what is it” can be rendered man-hu, a likely derivation of what this food has come to be called, manna. The Bible describes it as being “like coriander seed,” and “white, and its taste was like wafers with honey.”
