Chattel slavery has been abolished.  Prisoners can not be bought and sold.  Neither can their wives or children.  Prisons can't beat or kill inmates whenever they want.  And if you don't want to be a prison slave YOU DON'T HAVE TO.

Again, comparing chattel slavery to prison labor is an insult to the innocent people who suffered under chattel slavery.

Legalized chattel slavery is gone.  But its functional equivalents are still there.

And however nominally, still a concern of the US gov.  https://www.state.gov/what-is-modern-slavery/

Few of the millions of people trafficked in the US today don't choose to be.
