    Is that what sentencing typically involves, terms of slavery? I.e you are to serve X years at Y penitentiary? Does it need to be more specific or is that good enough for Y to “loan” out to do whatever?

      I do not understand what you are asking?

      Slavery as a punishment for a crime is enshrined in the constitution.

      Thats all.

        I’m just wondering if, during sentencing, slavery is already being part of the punishment, or of it has to be tacked on separately or explicitly. I.e are convicts being sentenced to slavery, explicitly, or do they have a choice in any of the slavery stuff? I’m asking about what is actually happening today.

          No. They are sentenced to time in prison. Most work slave jobs at the prison for a pittance so they can buy some ramen noodles.
