@malv173

@piemonster it’s constitutional. The 13th amendendment. Slavery or involuntary servitude can exist as punishment where someone is convicted of a crime.

Cheers Malv, but that I already know. I’m more looking for analysis/opinion on how it’s used and the subsequent implications. E.g. are there documented examples where generating income also incentivises to increase the prison population to further generate income.

It's been a while since I watched it, but I think this John Oliver episode talks about it. If not this episode then there's another one that does.
