When I did time in 2005 I worked at a cemetery weed-eating for 24 dollars a month. My cellmate worked at the courthouse as a custodian, and some worked at a factory. I can’t call it slavery because we were paid, and not whipped, but it is definitely exploitation

10c an hour. I can totally see how this is not slave labor.
I’ll tell you what made it slave labor: could you quit that job?
Yes, but I lost privileges
So, you get punished if you quit. That makes it not voluntary.
Forced labor is still slavery even if you’re paid and not whipped.
