There seems to be a huge break in the "it's unreasonable to do x therefore" in this argument, and many in American society. If the prisoners who didn't work were next to starving, and sleeping on the ground, you would sure have someone come in asserting that they are "forced" to work. Because they are OSTENSIBLY being forced to work by the choices they are offered. This type of pedantry goes beyond semantics and into deeper meaning that is very hard to communicate.
