They are jobs that are provided with a mandatory condition, being much more common by the government. Nowadays forced labor is not legal and the only situations in which it appears is as a way analogous to imprisonment and payment of fines; in the same way, they seek that the individual who complies with it can coexist with society again and integrate properly into it. Minors who commit not so serious crimes, such as entering private property or assaulting people, are the ones who pay with this type of sentencesimple. Something similar and that is often confused with this, is the fact that prisoners provide services to companies while they are in prison, although this is not mandatory and the salaries they receive are very low.
Another common conception is slavery, although this type of practice is no longer as open as it used to be and is no longer legal. According to historical records, these types of activities were carried out by soldiers, who subjected their prisoners of war to hard work and brutally punished them. However, in ancient nations such as Greece and Rome, then, their economic systems depended heavily on slaves and the work they did for emperors.
However, the slave trade was very present during the colonization of America, a time during which the Spaniards arrived on the African continent and took millions of people, whom they traded to fulfill different occupations and did not have any freedom. The abolition of slavery was made possible by a series of movements, in various countries, that fought for slaves, especially those with dark skin, to be taken into account.
