Version:

The California Constitution prohibits slavery and prohibits involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime.

This measure would instead prohibit slavery in all forms. This measure would clarify that its provisions do not prohibit the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation from awarding credits to an incarcerated person who voluntarily accepts a work assignment.
