Prison labor!
Prision labor is legal and it is enshrined in the U.S. Constitution, 13th Amendment.
Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
Section 2 is the privatization clause.
How did this all slip past us for generations?
Well, it it is due to the fact that no one cares about the children, as the policies all originated in child welfare.
It goes like this.
A corporation increases profit margins using slave labor, then writes off the profit in tax exempt donations to a non-profit, a child welfare NGO, to funnel the money into political campaigns as contributions, and whatever is leftover in the NGO, await its profitable returns through social impact investments which use tax payer dollars.
Oh, those job creators!
So, if you need a job, just go to prison.
