Regardless of whether this is slavery or volunteering it's interesting to note:
It's perfectly legal to treat prisoners like slaves. I don't personally like it but it is what it is. There was a push to outlaw this in my state this last election but it failed 51-49%The Thirteenth Amendment (Amendment XIII) to the United States Constitution abolished slavery and involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime.

Because it doesn't work like that.
If they wanna work for something in return, usually reduced sentences, then they'll work.
They can't be forced to do anything else that they're not supposed to do while incarcerated, unless we're talking about dictatorial states, like NK.
A "sheriff" has no say in this.

Generalising isn't how it works either.
If the wall actually happens, I'd prefer that we create actual jobs for the construction. Seems kind of stupid to me.

Yeah let's let criminals with no experience in masonry build it. What could go wrong? If a wall is built it should be built by professional masons.
It's a great idea. I practice this kind of thing myself. For example, a section of plumbing in my shop needed to be replaced last year. As luck would have it, one of my neighbor's kids had recently gotten in trouble for setting things on fire. I worked out a deal with the parents and he had to replace the pipes for me as punishment. Everything worked out perfectly.
Seriously?! People are now again going against Trump cause a sheriff offered an INMATE, AKA someone who COMMITTED A CRIME... to work on the wall.... and you all you people see is: ooh boo, slavery..
Is that ALL you picked up from this?!
Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
Pretty sure that means you can still put convicted criminals in prison work programs.
Infowar. Not much of a source.
But um, that's a ridiculously bad idea.

[...] we have an intolerance for ideas and evidence that don’t fit a certain ideology. I’m also not saying that we should restrict people to certain gender roles; I’m advocating for quite the opposite: treat people as individuals, not as just another member of their group (tribalism)..
