The Untold Story of Alabama’s Incarcerated Workers (The New Chain Gang)

This ain’t just Alabama.
This is America.
From state prison yards to thrift store floors,
From cold jail cells to Salvation Army doors.
They call it’s “therapy,”
But it walks like chains.
And it profits like business.
Welcome to the new chain gang.

They told us slavery ended —
But they do not want us to read the fine print.
The 13th Amendment?
It left a back door wide open:
“Except as punishment for crime…”
Now prison bars and rehab beds
Fuel billion-dollar grinds.
They call it “rehabilitation.”
They call it “God’s work.”
But they don’t call it what it is:
Forced labor in a thrift store shirt.

This ain’t grace.
This ain’t free.
This is labor...
Without dignity.
It’s salvation,
Wrapped in shame.
This is profit
By another name.

The Salvation Army made it legal —
They called it “Work Therapy.”
And just like that,
Slavery surged over 300% in USA in one year.
They don’t need prison walls,
Just a mattress and a meal.
They don’t pay wages,
Just coupons and “healing.”
In Alabama they sort clothes.
In Georgia, they clean factories.
In Ohio, they’re stocking Walmart shelves —
And none of them are free.
You think this is just one state?
This is every state.
You think it’s rare?
It’s exploding.
Four hundred businesses and counting…
And the World Health Organization?
They’re watching.
The U.S. is the testing ground.
The blueprint.
Where slavery was re branded and made legal.
Now they want it global.
143 countries.
One model.
One mandate.
Wrap it in charity.
Disguise it as care.
Sell it as salvation —
And export the chains everywhere.

They say they’re “bringing jobs back to America.”
But ask: Whose jobs?
Not yours. Not mine.
Not the kind that pay,
But the kind that cost lives. Pays nothing
Big business is coming home —
Because our labor is now cheaper than China’s.
Why pay $15 an hour...
When you can pay nothing?
Salvation Army’s annual profit?
Ten. Billion. Dollars.
Built on backs that can’t walk away.
This ain’t charity.
This is exploitation —
Sanitized. Legalized. Weaponized.

This ain’t hope.
This ain’t love.
This is chains
With God’s name above.
They say it’s healing.
But it’s a lie.
This is slavery
In a thrift store disguise.

And now the layoffs begin.
Real workers replaced by "rehab volunteers."
They don’t call it firing —
They call it “transition.”
And we’re all supposed to cheer?
While families lose homes,
While wages disappear?
They say it’s legal.
They say it’s kind.
But kindness don’t look like 40 hours
For store credit and broken minds.

This ain’t mercy.
This ain’t fate.
This is a system
Built on hate.
They say it’s holy.
They say it’s fair.
But this is slavery,
And we’re all there.

Unless we speak.
Unless we name it.
Unless we resist.
This ends with a whisper,
Not a fist.
It ends when every job becomes unpaid.
It ends when no one sees the chain.
It ends unless we rise —
And break it.

"Under the Salvation Army Work Program"
In America today — if you're poor, you work for everything.
Food stamps? Work.
Medicaid? Work.
Housing? Work.
Old age? You still work.
Even on the streets —
You work just to stay alive.
There's nowhere left to run.
Not the shelters.
Not the prisons.
Not the jails.
This isn't welfare.
America is not a welfare state.
It's the Salvation Army work program —
Taking over America.
Spreading across the world.
They said slavery ended in 1865.
But today?
It’s just been rebranded.
They call it “Work Therapy.”
“Job Training.”
“Volunteering.”
But make no mistake — this is modern-day forced labor.
And it’s 100% legal.
This isn’t happening in the shadows anymore.
It’s top-down, court-approved, and taxpayer-funded.
Trump’s own Labor and Agriculture Secretaries say:
“We’re going to give Americans the opportunity to pick crops!”
But let’s be clear —
This isn’t about jobs.
It’s about replacing paid labor with unpaid labor.
While farmers used to pay up to $21,000 per migrant worker under legal programs like H-2A,
“Work therapy” programs — like the ones run by the Salvation Army — cost them nothing.
No wages. No rights. Just survival in exchange for work.
This isn’t progress.
It’s a new form of legalized slavery — hidden inside charity and welfare reform.

💡 National Crisis, Global Pattern
Reveal News found over 300 ‘rehab’ programs in 44 U.S. states using unpaid labor —
all disguised as therapy.
People were forced to:
Build lawnmowers
Work in warehouses
Clean oil refineries
All for major brands like Walmart, Tyson Foods, Shell, and Williams-Sonoma.
Up to 60,000 people a year are being cycled through these programs.
Many of them are homeless, sick, or fleeing abuse.
And the Salvation Army?
They run the largest network —
With 122 centers processing over 100,000 people a year into labor without pay.
They call it “therapy.”
But it looks like 40-hour shifts for store coupons.
And it’s spreading fast.
Over 400 businesses are now using this workforce —
And some regions report 300% growth in just one year.

📈 The New Business Model
Trump’s tariffs?
They aren’t just about trade — they’re a recruitment pipeline for free labor.
He’s bringing corporations back home — to exploit unpaid American workers.
Today, Medicaid recipients in 15+ states must now work to keep their healthcare:
80 hours/month, often on farms or in warehouses.
Paid in food stamps, shelter, and secondhand clothes.
No wages. No protections.
Over 650,000 Americans are homeless.
They’re told:
This is your job now.
It’s legal.
It’s charity.
It’s God’s work.

🌍 Global Rollout: You Will Own Nothing
Immigrants were once the backbone of cheap labor.
Now, they’re being deported.
ICE is clearing the way for a new workforce:
Poor Americans.
And the World Health Organization?
They’re watching.
They want to export this model to 143 countries.
The slogan?
“You will own nothing — and you will be happy.”

👁️ Final Truth
Ask the woman who lost her child in a Salvation Army maternity home.
Ask the veteran who scrubs floors just to sleep inside.
Ask the teen forced to mop hallways in exchange for shelter.
Slavery didn’t end.
It evolved.
Now it’s wrapped in religion,
Funded by your taxes,
And expanding — faster than ever.
This is not God’s work.
It’s forced labor.Free Labor
And it’s happening now.
