Of course it's free. That's how slavery works. Slaves get everything provided for them but have no freedom to profit from their labor or improve their conditions.

That is not how slavery as practiced in North America, including Cuba, worked. You didn't get things "provided", you got absolute subsistence (or less) during your most productive years.
