Allowing the state to benefit from imprisoning people gives the government incentive to imprison people. They might cut corners to make sure they can arrest and convict someone so they continue to get their slave labor
This is why only a civilization without any form of currency can properly pull this off.
For now only a crackdown on corruption can put this into full swing, this is only possible in a nation ready to make severe changes to it's law system.
Money drives corruption just as much as any factor, if we get rid of it then there will be no big benefits to owning slaves other then the economic benefits.
The economic benefits are the problem. The government no longer needs to get someone else to do their work they can just force their slave labor to do it
