    Yes, you can use slaves to offset the cost of their upkeep. That argument sucks.

        ETHICALLY it’s not volunteering if it’s coerced, and I can’t think of many things more coercive than the promise of more prison.

            Its not the promise of more prison, its an offer of less prison. The difference between coercion and incentive.

            No. There’s a distinction but not a difference.
