Not to defend the POS whiner, but the article does point out that

"In some countries, including the United States, private companies use prison labor, but only with prisoner consent and for minimum wages."

The POS whiner is complaining that he was forced to work.

Article. XIII.

[Proposed 1865; Ratified 1865]

Section. 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Section. 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

I read that as saying we can pretty much make convicts work and work for nothing.

As it should be.
