If someone is found guilty and is given "community service" of a given specification as their retribution to society, is that not technically slavery (involuntary servitude)?
- Chaebixi 9y agoSlavery and involuntary servitude aren't the same thing. This is clearly shown by the fact that the state can't sell your person as chattel to someone else when you're sentenced to prison or community service.

Although they owe x number of hours of service their labor is their own and cannot be sold by a third party nor are they held against their will.
