Arrest is just a legally allowed kidnapping.
Why do accept the justification of legality? Chattel slavery was legal.
We've already been over the fact that most inmates never see a day in court.
Hard to see how that's different to prison, except for the "literally owns you", although inmates are essentially bought and sold, and quotas are maintained for private prison contracts. It's not exactly ownership but that's a very marginal difference.
So do you accept that anyone the state deems a criminal somehow deserves involuntary servitude? Why?
