Should prisoners get paid minimum wage for jobs done in prison?

Yes privatization and especially for profit prisons is one step too far.
Treating offenders as a commodity is morally wrong and comes awfully close to the definition of slavery:

Slavery is a system under which people are treated as property to be bought and sold, and are forced to work

So, wait, when individuals operate prisons, it's morally wrong, and close to slavery? But when the state does it, it's A-OK?
