      I mean debtor prisons are basically just involuntary prison labor, which the US already has. Not really a leap, considering you can get arrested for legitimately anything.

      I mean, it kind of is.

      Debtor’s prisons were never fair, but at least it usually involved adults who made their own choices.

      Kids can’t legally consent to anything - though I’m sure the republicans want to change that too.
