I’m saying I’m fine with forced labor being part of the consequences.

Like if you steal a car, six months working a shitty job while locked in prison seems appropriate. The money shouldn’t go to you, it should go to defer the cost of catching, prosecuting, and housing you.

We even have “community service” which is literally forced labor for zero compensation, are people unhappy with that?

Community service typically doesn't also come with loss of liberty. As someone who has been sentenced to community service but got to stay out of incarceration because of a stupid teenager move, it's effectively a different punishment.
