There's some question about if the government can legally make you do work for free, except as a punishment for a crime.

- sejje 13y agoI always assumed that even then you had to be paid, like the guys who get pay measured in double-digit-cents-per-hour to make license plates or whatever. Although I guess forced community service could be thought about the same way.
- bmm6o 13y agoI don't know much about the inner workings of the penal system, but the 13th amendment (which generally abolished slavery) specifically allows for involuntary servitude as punishment for a crime.
