Let’s do some Eisegesis on the text.

Lincoln freed the slaves. You see. It’s right there in the text. No more masters and slaves neither slavery nor involuntary servitude shall exist within the United States of America or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Republicans did it. Democrats were ALL slave owners but that shit ended.
The end. We as Americans over came evil religious slave owners.
Now let’s do some Exegesis on the text.

Why is there an exception? Who profits from the exception?
Comvicts in prison are slaves to the state?
It’s weird but do you realize that other countries just put their criminals in jail. They don’t have a federal constitutional Amendment to slavery being forced on people in jail.
You don’t have rights in a U.S prison. You are the property of the United States of America and even when you get out it’s still up to certain states on what rights and what jobs your allowed to have depending on the state a part of the United States Empire.
I have my own opinions but if you think about it slavery has always been a big business. Why not make that business profitable for the state and federal governments.
You be the judge. Am I reading into the text my own opinions or am I just looking at the exception in between the lines of text.
