Yeah, but a slave was property of his master, could be sold, whipped, branded and remained shackled for his life (in particular when performing outdoor work). I'm also pretty sure the type of food and garments they are afforded doesn't really compare to prison life. Food was whatever they could scrounge or what the master afforded them (varied greatly) and forget medical or anything.
Prisoners, on the other hand, are (in theory) getting 3 hot meals, warm clothing, medical (&dental) treatment, and hopefully studying so they get a life outside jail, afterwards.
They are paying back to society the crimes they committed. Unfortunately, if they aren't put to use, they won't really learn anything (work discipline, respecting hierarchy/authority, learning new skills). They are also a burden on the State for the length of their prison sentence. A costly burden, and as far as I know, the US is far from being a socialist state where taxpayers pay for other people's "social security".

That's not Britain, tho'. That's Indonesia or somesuch.

not apparently, just literally.

Americans have a difficulty understanding "America" is not a country, but a continent.

No. Just because it's a bit silly and attributed to Korea, someone decides to thrown in Kim Jong-Un's name. This is actually in South Korea.

Really? Have you ever seen a kid lose a tooth without complaining/pain/discomfort, in particular with the molars? I have two kids. Believe me. They complain(ed) about it.

also, a lot of people mix xenophobia with racism, two very different concepts...

I'm mad that you think Mexican and Spanish is the same thing.

yup, that was gonna be my comment. Whip out the ole ethyl-based alcohol and it just cleans up the board.

wouldn't that qualify as hell?

context is everything
