Working in prison made me feel enslaved. It made me feel undervalued and unhuman. When I was working in the kitchen, I was paid 11 cents an hour. It didn’t prepare me for an outside job. I did not have any money or support when I was released. I was homeless.

Print this postcard and send Jerome’s story to your Congressmember urging passage of the Abolition Amendment. Together we can abolish slavery for all.


Ending the exception would mean that individuals can prepare for their release. That they would truly, truly be free.
