Convict lease system, which was popular in the South essentially leased convicts to large agricultural operations. This system led to many forms of abuse of workers who had lost their rights as a result of being convicted of a felony, whether guilty or not. This was particularly true for African Americans in the late-nineteenth century. One of the most notorious of these operations was Parchman Farm in Mississippi, which literally utilized thousands of black convicts for various unpaid tasks.
Dorothea Dix
Dorothea Dix was an educator, writer, and social reformer. By 1836, Dix changed her focus to the condition of asylums.
Dix began with the conditions of prisons. She was introduced to prisons by educating prisoners. She recorded the conditions and eventually reported what she saw to the government. She brought attention to the issue of keeping criminals next to mentally ill inmates. She advocated for separate facilities for the mentally ill and to clean up the prisons. The government began to provide funding for new facilities to be built.

Explanation:
The 14th amendment was a part of the Reconstruction after the Civil War ended on May 9th, 1865. The 14th Amendment was needed because after the Civil War was over and slavery ended some southern states passed laws that restricted the rights of former slaves.
Because of that, the 14th Amendment was designed to protect those former slaves' rights and the only way southern states could be readmitted to the Union was ratifying the 14th Amendment.
That Amendment gives citizenship to all people born in the US or naturalized, with that, the federal government removed a series of powers some states had to supersede federal laws.
