    Id say “less” controversial.

    Is making people in prisons perform the necessary custodial work to maintain it slavery? I dont think it is, but strictly speaking its enforced unwilling labor so by a dictionary definition it kinda is.

    Now making them take jobs performing work for companies seeking to make a profit for less than minimum wage… yeah that smells a lot more like slavery.
