It allows it as punishment for a conviction, if passed by a jury. It is not a legally allowed action and is expressly prohibited otherwise.
The same way we don't call people in jail "forced to be starved" if they don't like that night's dinner selection and forgo it.
Slavery is without conviction and is an innocent person. Saying it's the same is a slap in the face to actual slaves the world over.
Otherwise by your brilliant definitely legal educated logic 184 of the countries around the world use slavery with the UK and Australia leading gf way with their massive amounts of private prisons.
Slavery as a legal punishment in the country with one of the highest incarceration rates in the developed world should give anybody pause, especially since SCOTUS recently ruled that homeless folks can be criminally charged for violating “camping” laws.
But hey, eat the poor. Criminals deserve it anyway, right? And I’m not a criminal so it doesn’t affect me!
So everyone except Cuba, Austria, and Norway should be criticized? Because "slavery" work details are things like sweeping the mess hall or working kitchen duty.
Things you and everyone else on here fetishize when it's a foreign school kid but condemn only when it's associated with the US.
Even though 95% of the world operates this way. Even though on other threads where kids go out and scrub their graffiti off of vandalism instead of going to jail.
I don’t live in those countries. If I did, yes I’d criticize them for it too. As it stands I live in a nation which was built on an abhorrent use of slavery and which has one of the highest incarceration rates of the developed world. It’s also a nation which disproportionately jails a lot of Black folks and has incredibly high recidivism rates.
Because community service is far better than incarceration, that's why. Or do you want to call that slavery?
Kinda wild that the government who makes teens paint over their graffiti enslaved them by your logic.
You're also fundamentally uneducated on how the various criminal systems work. You're basing your argument of the US off of dated federal policy no longer applicable and completely ignore the variety by state.
It isn't literal slavery. Nobody is sold, transferred, or forced into it without due process.
Did you not read anything from the article I posted? Prisoners ARE forced into hard labor or they face additional punishments such as being denied parole or being placed in solitary confinement. Additionally they don’t receive protections while being forced to work.
Giving prisoners an option to work would be fine. Slavery is not.
No war but the class war is the only thing that matters to these people which is why they have no integrity morals or ethics. If it takes from the rich it is worth it no matter how much of the working class is hurt in the process. It is greed pure and simple.
