Getting paid is not a differentiator in the definition of a slave.
- NoMoreNicksLeft 3y ago> The average prison wage is less than $1 per hour. We could make up an infographic about how convicts in most states can't even afford a 3 bedroom, 1 car garage apartment on their prison wages just to show everyone how evil it is. There are abuses in prison that decent people should be offended by and work to prevent, but the idea that they are offered work for wages and the dollar amount's not up to the standards of the "let's unionize Starbucks" crowd just isn't one of them.
