"Work for us, or spend the rest of your life in the salt-mines".

Yeah, I can see how that would be a compelling argument. I wouldn't put it past various government agencies to think of exactly something like that.

Maybe, maybe not? I'd bet it depends on the people, depends on the job. Are you an anarchist assigned government drudgework? Bad news. Are you a chaotic neutral "forced" into fascinating meaningful government work? Might be great for everyone even if you wouldn't have taken the job normally.
