Here is the wording of the amendment:
https://ballotpedia.org/Louisiana_Amendment_7,_Remove_Involuntary_Servitude_as_Punishment_for_a_Crime_from_Constitution_Measure_(2022)

A "yes" vote supported:
removing language from the state constitution that allows involuntary servitude as punishment for a crime; and
adding language to say that the section of the constitution prohibiting slavery and involuntary servitude "does not apply to the otherwise lawful administration of criminal justice."
A "no" vote opposed removing language from the state constitution that allows involuntary servitude as punishment for a crime.

How unfortunate. Whoever warped the amendment with the bolded addition is an unfathomable scumbag.

Prison jobs pay 25 to 55 cents an hour, mostly closer to 25 cents. To put that into perspective most food items have a 100% markup and phone use is normally 75 cents the first minute and 5-15 cents for every minute after that.

I know.
