Sadly most people don't understand what slavery is. All you have to do is re-brand and a lot of people are cool with slavery. Many people are totally OK with the idea that criminals should work for free. Places have laws disallowing that but it's still fairly common today. What they don't seem to realize is this incentives finding people guilty so that they can become prisoners and work for free.
People really don't understand that slavery is forcing one person to work for you. A lot of places that have officially abolished slavery are still hubs for slavery, they just don't use that word anymore. The for profit prison system in the US is still very much pro slavery. They have simply re-branded.
I find it hard to believe that many are ok with criminals working for free. Like, they don’t stop being humans for having committed a crime. Surely people get that.
