In an ideal world where the justice system treats everyone equitably I would have no problem with labor in prison. However, people are hardly treated equitably so it really does become modern day slavery that disproportionately affects minorities.
Labor while incarcerated shouldn't be obligatory and an inmate should not be punished for choosing not to work. Labor should be optional with an incentive to work.
