My middle kid/oldest boy is majoring in Criminal Justice with hope to be a federal agent. He just took a school trip to Germany a few weeks ago to learn about their criminal justice system. While visiting jails and prisons there he learned many allow inmates to wear their own clothes and have TVs in their cells but they have to provide all of those things themselves and they don’t get paid but in fact have to pay for their incarceration (cell, food, personal items, etc). Not recommending that system, just saying the rest of the world doesn’t appear to believe that not paying inmates is a form of slavery, far from it, if they actually require the inmates to pay for their incarceration.
