This is less of a gotcha in the context of locking people in boxes, which we also normally don't do.

Locking people in a box is incarceration. Locking people in a box and compelling them to perform labor from which the incarcerator profits is slavery.

The fact that imprisoning people costs a lot of money is one of the few things keeping the U.S. prison population in check. That's not a problem that needs solving.
