imprisonment is literally slavery

there are different kinds of slavery, and no one is saying prison slavery is exactly the same as chattle slavery, though it is more similar to chattle slavery than it is to wage slavery.

You did it again! The gap between imprisonment and chattel slavery is much larger than the gap between imprisonment and wage slavery.

There is no way that Elizabeth Holmes would submit to chattel slavery, but she calls imprisonment "hell," and she is far off the mark. https://people.com/elizabeth-holmes-breaks-her-silence-in-first-interview-from-prison-it-s-been-hell-and-torture-exclusive-8789737
