Slavery is still allowed for jury duty as well. You are forced to work and if you don't go they can throw you in prison and/or fine you.

Oh Hacker News, you never cease to disappoint.

"Prisoners are being forced to work for almost no pay, its modern day slavery."

"Yeah but think about jury duty, I'm the real slave labour in my middle class lifestyle, having to participate the function of my democracy."

I'm sure you think that taxation is theft as well.
