What is and isn't slavery is absolutely up for debate. You can have an argument over where you draw the line, but I'm pretty sure anyone remotely sane and moral would absolutely say that for-prisoner labour is slavery.

Which is probably why some countries specifically allow slavery for prisoners.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.
