@SabiLewSounds Well, in the case of prison, if you do not comply you are beaten. If you continue to not comply, you are put in solitary.
So, if you do not work you are tortured.
Wage slavery is awful, and has its own downsides/upsides but its hard to compare the too; except for say immigrant workers or other at-risk groups that employers regularly take advantage of and often have no recourse.
