forced work for who breaks the law? you risk to fall in the "slavery with extra steps" situation


Slavery as a punishment for crime is explicitly authorized in the United States Constitution.


To piggy-back on this, not only is it explicitly authorized it's often expected.

Failure to voluntarily participate in a work-program is grounds for solitary confinement (which entails more penalties than just being by yourself).


federal prisons already require prisoners to work. We DO have slavery with extra steps
