The US certainly isn't the only civilized country to use penal labor. Regardless, I still wouldn't have a problem with it (done correctly).
The average person is forced to work in one way or the other. Not sure why committing a crime is a get out of work (and into jail) card.

Err... because it incentivises arresting and jailing vulnerable people in order to provide cheap labor. (done correctly) is doing a lot of work.
> That's like saying locking people in camps is legal in the US. Technical not a lie, but a bit misleading.
Actually labour as a punishment is called labour camps, it is generally frowned upon in the civilized world.
> Forced labor as a proportionate punishment for a crime you were found guilty of by a fair trial is not a problem in my book.
But the punishment is x years in prison not x years of forced labour.
