    To be fair this is hardly a problem unique to western capitalism. Gulag labor in the USSR was widely acknowledged and documented. And there are likewise credible accusations of forced labor (and much worse) in China as well. It’s bad in every case, and intellectually honest observers would condemn this practice in every instance.

    This isn’t capitalism or communism - it’s an autocracy and human rights issue. The places with the best criminal justice outcomes these days are generally the “third way socialism” eg Scandinavian model countries which have a blended version of regulated capitalism and wealth redistribution.

      The majority of western capitalist countries DON’T have legal slave labour in their prison system (or anywhere). I’m pretty sure it’s actually only the USA

      It’s the state using the labor of people for its own profit and the profit of its cronies. Capitalism has nothing to do with it.
