Lol I saw this shit on reddit , So America is taking immigrants who legally become Americans and force them to work. Here's the problem, first it's not "immigrants" it's illegal immigrants. Second, prisoners are not forced to work and there given a choice to sit doing nothing or volunteer to work. They do get paid plus receive time off their prison sentence for working.
In California, hard labor is often used in lieu of prison. Minor misdemeanors can just get community service, but DUIs can often end up with a sentencing of 140+ hours of CalTrans labor instead of any prison time for repeat offenders. That is also labor without pay for non-prisoners.

Many states in the south still practice hard labor as a sentence. So your second paragraph isn't accurate.
