John "Jack" Christopher Smith, who was enslaved for five years at a Conway restaurant, could be getting more than $500,000 in restitution, more than double his original amount, after an appellate court ruled the district court didn't give him enough based on federal labor laws.
For five years - from 2009 to 2014 - Bobby Edwards, the manager of J&J Cafeteria in Conway effectively enslaved Chris Smith forcing him to work at the restaurant over 100 hours per week without pay, according to court documents.
In the court documents, Smith spoke with WPDE about his case and what happened to him.
He deserves that money. I don't know how he actually gets that money.
