They pretty much are, though, legally. Prisoners are Constitutionally permitted to be subject to involuntary servitude.
- jacquesm 4y agoYes, but that's not what a ward means, a ward is a person who technically is under the protection of the state. That some states abuse the situation is a separate issue. It does not make you property.
