Why does prison labor get called slavery, but prison detention gets the euphemistic treatment of "coercive detention"? Why isn't prison labor "coercive labor"?

When someone other than the state does the crime of imprisonment, that crime is "false imprisonment," so there doesn't seem to be a big divide between the language we use for the two things. Totally unrelated to language issues, kidnapping and imprisonment are very harmful and people ought to exercise great care to do them very little.
