That’s a bit of a stretch. Unless your definition of convicted felon and slave are the same. I’m pretty certain there are some major differences between the two. I personally don’t support forced labor, or labor of any sort really. Goes against my ethos. However if an individual wrongfully and maliciously takes of another persons property, consumes it or destroys it…. And they have no means to pay back the debt they owe, what’s the solution ? Allow the debt to absorbed entirely by the person /persons who didn’t commit the illegal act? Everyone should be compensated when robbed of their rightful property. That compensation has to come from somewhere .
