Here is an open copy of the letter I sent President Trump today concerning the need for an amendment(s) and ratification to our US Constitution 13 Amendment:

Dear President Trump,

I was appalled last week on the 1st days of national prison strikes when I read our 13 Amendment of the US Constitution: Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

I need you to publicly change this as soon as you can please! We need civil rights leaders & legal experts working together on the correct amendment to the atrocious wording of our shameful 13th amendment. Just imagine someone you know & love sitting before a judge after doing something out of range and the judge declares: I now sentence you to slavery in so and so prison for making a phone call or taking that loaf of bread. This is basically the wrong script for American constitutional policy; the wording alone is demeaning, derogatory, criminal minded, and does not promote healthy living standards nor a completely civil minded society overall.  For instance, many minorities already are convicted based on minority status, that is, many minorities are determined as second class citizens based on color, religion, & race or even gender; thus, in the minds of many supremacists they already stand convicted.  Also, punishment for crimes (definite crimes) should not be met with the mentality of becoming a "slave" or being subjected to "involuntary servitude". The idea with reforming behaviors & acts is to promote change, or helping a person see the light, better his/her lifestyle, their ideas about others, help them reach a spiritual level of love & respect for life, property, and the rights of society--not to whip, punish, & torture the person as punishment or to use old-style slave tactics to inflict a Supremacist White authoritarian rule of law.  To reform prisoners is about causing change in them, where they can recover.

Additionally, reform is not always the case with our prison populace; an ex. is a disabled woman who was deprived medical testing treatment at facilities, such as nursing home & more who had no money but was very ill so she stole some cough suppressants. She was arrested, waited in jail then sentenced 2 a year with still no medical testing & treatments for obvious medical symptoms. She had cancer the entire while & all our system could do was surround her with gruff gun holding police & treat her as a criminal. Our system was criminal--not she! She didn't belong in any holding cell at all while each member of our court was paid mighty dollars and acted with pompous disregard for her rights & humanity.

This, I am hunching this happens all the time in America; our system compels poverty, has used & enslaved people various ways, especially minorities through agencies that have used them to profit by selling drugs (look up Contra Wars & how they were funded please); keeps them in poverty, in despair, without jobs, then arrests them for any situation, which much of the time will profit White Prison Owners somehow or another. We have to make each other see the realities & deeper dimensions to gain an understanding: Many prisoners do not belong in prison all together & our prisons r geared more towards torture, punishment, then they are geared towards ethics, teaching humans to do better, teaching them to find their better selves, or helping those victimized by our systemic abuses find logic or reason for their own plights after so much systemic wrongdoing. Ask yourself: If you knew someone enslaved somehow by US government officials used by them somehow for whatever reason & they left you with zero dollars & you had to take a loaf of bread, would you expect empathy or a prison sentence from a Harsh judge hepped on punishing anything or anybody at a high price civilians are compelled to pay for the profits of some corporate owners? Sincerely,
