    That’s what pretty much all prison labor is. They coerce you with “Good Time” and something to do.

    It’s still slavery, it’s not like they have a real choice. Do I rot in my cell or work and maybe get out a year early? Of course I’m gonna work. I’m not getting (really) paid for it, I’m just getting punished less. Sounds a lot like indentured servitude to me, which we all agreed was slavery too.

      Oh no. Non volunteer work is punished if you don’t do it and provides no good time.
