> There's a big difference between prisoners (who at least in theory are locked up as punishment for committing a crime) and people who've been trafficked into slavery.

Considering what can probably get you in jail in a country like China, I’m not so sure about that.



its also a really big misalignment of incentives when prisons can use prisoners as a profit center though their labor. they take away jobs from free people who would have been able to do those jobs and get a (more)fair wage for it
