Can a "loophole" be "expressly"?
It's not a trick, it's a straightforward statement of the author's intent.
It's a loophole that permits slavery of non-prisoners by virtue of a corrupt prosecution and jail system that puts people in prison for longer than they deserve and then extends their sentences unreasonably for in-prison violations, allowing slave labor dor the duration of their excessive imprisonment.
Most modern prison labor isn't even "slavery" under the 13th. It's using a different loophole -- indentured servitude to reduce inflated sentences, and offering monopsonistically-suppressed wages and monopolistic "company town" prices for basic living supplies.
