Abstract
The article discusses the International Labour Organization's (ILO's) Forced Labour Convention (No. 29) which reportedly prohibits private forced prisoner labor as of October 2013, focusing on criminal punishment and the author's development of a normative justification for banning this type of forced labor. Concerns about abuses of power and unfair competition between prisoners are addressed, along with various types of employment arrangements. Prison privatization is also examined.
