Community service, prison labor, or slavery: which do you call it, and why?

@bijouxbroussard Here's my dilemma: "community service," to me, sounds voluntary, while "prison labor" sounds compulsory.

@33person I’m not sure what you’re asking. Neither are voluntary, but sometimes people are sentenced to community service instead of jail time, for a first offense, for example. Regardless of how it may sound.

@bijouxbroussard Sometimes people need a certain amount of volunteer hours or community service in order to be in the honors program at their university, or something like that. To me, that deserves a different name than involuntary prison labor.
