Pretty much exactly that plus a market. Prisoners held for torture are still slaves. They turn a profit for the prison as long as they’re not dead. They’re just funded by your tax dollars instead of private wealth.
Unless they’re run by a state entity it’s extremely unlikely they’ll operate at a loss.

The 13th amendment specifically says slavery is only abolished except as punishment for a crime
They’re legally just slaves. Getting a small and conditional pay doesn’t make them not slaves.
Hwy that’s not true! Not all of them are slaves!
What about the torture prisons? Do they just not count? Rude.

Not if you’re not extracting labor from them! I have no reason to believe black sites are directly profitable!

I was reading an article a few months ago that one of the largest plantations is still around but is now a prison.
Edit: I remembered the name Angola
