Debt slaves are not held by debt. Debt is merely the nominal excuse. The use and threat of violence coupled with an insulation from or complete lack of law drives slavery. And that is why I think it is such a pervasive problem. Solutions that work may require carrying a bigger stick -- and using it. That terrifies me. I abhor state military intervention, but I also abhor slavery through violence. Most people are similar which is why they stress alternative measures like economic disincentives and UN resolutions which don't seem to work well.
