Five incarcerated people in Alabama are fighting to push forward a lawsuit, Stanley v. Ivey, challenging the state's power to punish prisoners who resist forced labor. Despite a state constitutional provision abolishing slavery that was passed in 2022 by referendum, Montgomery County Circuit Court dismissed the plaintiffs' lawsuit, arguing Governor Kay Ivey and Alabama Department of Corrections Commissioner John Hamm were protected by state sovereign immunity. Emily Early, Associate Director of the Center for Constitutional Rights' Southern Regional Office, joins Rattling the Bars to discuss the lawsuit and the plaintiffs' ongoing fight to have their case appealed.

ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
#twi #akan the clip for today's MDR is taken from the Twi interview: https://youtu.be/ubTz9NS1kTc?si=6TS-YZJfVFxzviaC. On this channel, you'll find lots of youth-centric interviews, mainly conducted in Ghana's capital Accra. It is, thus, not uncommon to hear a lot of code-mixing, slangs, pidgin, and other youthful expressions in the interviews, which is representative of how young people in the urban centers of Ghana generally speak.
