Just picked up super book - Austin Reed's 'The Life and the Adventures of a Haunted Convict' - considered first account of black convict & historical record of forced labour in prisons in 19thC USA @KevinHyland63 @ProfessorBlitz

[Kevin Hyland OBE, LL.M @KevinHyland63]

On 3rd September 1838 Frederick Douglass escaped slavery & in 1872 became the 1st African American nominated Vice President of the US. 180 years on more children, women & men than ever are trafficked or in forced labour. No person or business should profit from this evil abuse.
