Définition

  • Convict leasing refers to a particular means of putting inmates to work that originally developed in the South following the end of the Civil War, but was eventually used all over the United States. In this system, persons convicted of criminal offenses were sent to sugar and cotton plantations, coal mines, turpentine farms, phosphate beds, brick-yards, sawmills, and cotton mills.
