    nope, you all kindsa wrong again:

    compelled forced labor, especially for the profit of another, is the definition of slavery, and:

    inmates are used to produce exports for the prison industry that prisons collect billions of dollars from in revenue.

    that labor is often not punitive.

    that is compelled labor for the profit of another.

    it is exploitative because they are paid pennies on the dollar or not at all, while being charged to stay in prison and charged for the services they received.

    most inmates leave jail at a net loss since US prisons, even though they’re making money off the prisoners, are pay for stay.
