Just like uncle Tom, working in the house so he could make a living...as a slave. But hey, they fed and clothed him, so is it still slavery?

"Just like?" I dunno, was Tom in prison for committing crimes or did somebody just kidnap him or his ancestors and say okay you're a slave now? If you're going to ignore that difference this conversation is pointless.

Right because the US is known for having a very fair "justice" system

The better question is, was he in prison due to unjust laws and unfair application of law due to the colour of his skin? Fuck it, they're locked up, force to him work regardless.

That's always A question in an individual case, but assuming convicts are innocent isn't rational.
