      State-run prisons where labor can be required would also qualify as slavery by any definition.

      Depends I guess if you view UNICOR as private or not since it’s government owned. We call them crown corporations in Canada.

  Exactly, and when you could, it was also allowed to beat them to death, as long as they didn’t die immediately, but it took a day or two. Those are the rules of the bible.
