Labor, slave? indentured? coerced?

Are you saying they can't refuse? That their consent is false?

jailed on bullshit charges is one thing; working on a chain gang is another; volunteering to fight fires or stamp license plates or whatever is another. Perhaps it's really the case that they have no choice--that's coercion. I don't know enough to assess whether or not they're able to consent/refuse.

If they force people against their will, into a position where there's no other logical choice, that's coercion in my book.
