    Yes. Correct. They particular clauses heavily debated if it actually cost you slavery or what not.

    Most countries on Earth use some kind of prison labor to some capacity.

    In the United States almost all prison labor is voluntary a very few prisoners are forced into it and they are compensated to some degree.

    So even with the exclusion clause in the 13th amendment, antebellum style Shadow slavery does not exist in this country.
