US Constitution, Thirteenth Amendment: “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”
I'm an advocate for paying more money to prisoners doing jobs. Prisoners do lose some rights while they are incarcerated but most often the job they are assigned are basic household duties to bring costs down for holding said prisoners. It costs around 30,000$ to keep prisoners alive and well. They are prisoners serving their time to the state. Everyone needs to work in a fuctioning society even prisoners. Only 6% do actual manufacturing and agricultural work. During said time are paid wages and achieve credit to help them when they get out of prison. Now if you have a problem with the wages and credit afterwards I understand, but the work itself is a massive upgrade to how the older prison systems work.
Is it normal to like the idea of being a slave?

You forgot to mention American prisons.
