The government also has a constitutional mandate to prevent slavery operating under the guise of contract or debt. See the 13th Amendment.

Oh look, it's more sophistry from Roscoe, sure as the sun rises in the morning. Do you even know what "under the guise" means? If the contract was signed in good faith, it doesn't even qualify for the definition you're waving around.

Illegal contracts are unenforceable. Claiming that indentured servitude and peonage aren't really slavery because of contract is the sort of sophistry our courts reject.
