A KIND OWNER

Until they have properly accepted their new status as owned property, slaves are not allowed to mingle with the others in the slave barn overnight in case they should attempt to escape. Instead they are chained up in one of the secure cells.

The owner of this young slave is kind, though, as we can see.  He’s allowed the slave a blanket to lie on, rather than having the slave spend the night on the bare, cold cement.
