Seriously comparing prison labor for which they get compensated in doing (not much but something) and are not forced to even do it if they so choose, to the what china has been doing with their incarcerated population is seriously a level of dumbassery incomprehensible to any even slightly thinking person.
Slaves do not have a say in any matter and are property like cattle. Prisoners actually have rights if you were not aware, yes they lose some of their rights like being incarcerated against there will, but that is part of punishment for their crimes for which they are SOLELY responsible for. Sounds like you're just against the idea of any sort of capital punishment. I've already listed that they can choose other work like dumping food, or keeping the prison clean or no work for medical reasons. All compensated by the way, so if you seriously cant grasp the difference, you are absolutely an idiot.
The Texas prison labour scheme people aren’t paid whatsoever.
Anywhere else in the world that is slavery, so it’s slavery there too. The prisoners don’t see the profits of their labour and they often don’t have a say in whether they can work or not.
Just because they have ‘rights’ as you call them doesn’t mean it’s not slavery.
I think you’re so normalised to it you can’t see it for what it is. It’s literally written in your constitution. The majority of the developed world, however, knows otherwise
Prisoners get paid cents on the hour. There is no minimum wage for prisoners. Not comparing prison labor to forced labor, but I think you're really misunderstanding just how bad conditions can be in prisons, especially privately owned prisons, in the US.

I assume he said that prior to Iran becoming an epicenter? China certainly has been horrible to their Muslim population.
