So you just mean prisoners were slaves for a term of imprisonment? We’re still allowed to do that. The Clintons famously used prisoners as indentured servants when Bill was Governor.
No. That's not how it worked. They weren't slaves for a time frame.
They were slaves until they paid off their debt, which never happened because the people they owed money to had all the power in the situation and came up with any umber of ways to reduce what they were paid or to increase what was owed so that they would never be able to pay it off.
If you owe someone $10,000, work for them for a year, pay them $1,000, but they charged you $1,000 in interest, you just worked for them for a year for free. That's just slavery with extra steps.

Geez... your posts are minutes apart, so you aren't actually taking advantage of all the background and information being offered. If you keep this shit up, you're just another troll.

Not from what I’m reading. They were basically all political prisoners and served for 2-7 years.
