It is aesthetically incredibly close to chattel slavery if nothing else

Technically you're not literally born into it though

I realized midway through that I didn't actually know what Chattel slavery meant so I backtracked into aesthetics

"Chattel" means a physical possession, "chattel slavery" means when enslaved people literally have no status as human beings and are considered fully owned by other people, something that can be bought and sold and traded

This is the most extreme form of slavery, and other things that are called "slavery" are usually distinguishable by not going to that extreme A prisoner doing forced labor, for instance, is legally unfree because of the conditions of their sentence, not their fundamental status

And arguably the legal consequences of their sentences do reduce their status in society (losing the right to vote etc)
