    Always has been.

    Slavery remained legal as a punishment for crime, it was never completely abolished

      In some countries that actually abolish slavery, it is. Forced labour is also forbidden by human rights, but I know some countries don’t care about that either.

        I’m assuming the article is from the USA, so that is the context of my comment.

        Yes, other countries do different things.
