chosen: Convict leasing was a system of contract labor that emerged in the United States in the late 1800s. It involved renting convicted criminals to private corporations and industries to work as cheap labor, usually under brutal conditions. These laborers were generally confined to their job and were subject to a myriad of abuse, humiliation, and physical labor with little or no payment. It was one of the key forms of forced labor in the South until it was abolished by the federal government in 1908.
