'''Involuntary servitude''' or '''involuntary slavery''', more commonly known as just '''slavery,''' is a [[law|legal]] and [[constitution]]al term for a person laboring against that person's will to benefit another, under some form of [[coercion]], to which it may constitute slavery. While labouring to benefit another occurs also in the condition of [[slavery]], involuntary servitude does not necessarily connote the complete lack of freedom experienced in [[chattel slavery]]; involuntary servitude may also refer to other forms of [[unfree labor|unfree labour]]. Involuntary servitude is not dependent upon [[Remuneration|compensation]] or its amount. Prison labour is often referred to as involuntary servitude. Prisoners are forced to work for free or for very little money while they carry out their time in the system.
