      It’s slavery with extra steps, you make up laws that allow you to imprison a particular demographic and then you use that demographic as slave labor.

    They are on the shelves of virtually every supermarket in the country, including Kroger, Target, Aldi and Whole Foods.

    Is there really no supermarkets in the US that have policies for modern day slavery?
