Sorry to take this on a tangent, but am I missing something? How would this not be allowed, but picking up litter on the side of the road is?

it probably is allowed. as is litter pickup, as is farming. once you're incarcerated/convicted, that "except" comes into play.

slavery/involuntary servitude is now under the purview of the State. the state now owns the convicted person.

that's what it says.

it's not that hard.
