OP notes that prisons in america now charge you for your stay.

Some states will do that which is why you rob a bank making it a federal case. Generally, federal prisons are better than state prisons in the United States.

Correct. Enslaving prisoners was amended into our Constitution. Fear of that enslavement keeps most people in line.

Take an hour to watch this to get all of it.
