Involuntary servitude as punishment for a crime is, in gact, slavery and a slave has no rights including 2AMD rights.

“Involuntary servitude as punishment for a crime is, in gact, slavery...”

I disagree. Just because a person is a prisoner doesn’t mean that person is a slave, even if they are coerced into working. In the US at least, those subject to involuntary servitude as punishment can’t legally be sold as property.

“...and a slave has no rights including 2AMD rights.”

Meaning that when someone is captured in a tribal war and enslaved by the captors, the enslaved captive no longer has any rights through no fault of his own except maybe for choosing to be on the losing side. I disagree with that too.

Of course whether or not one is a slave with no will of his own or a captive subject to coercion depends at least partly on the acceptance or not of the slave/captive.
