Preferred term

privatization of labor  

Definition

  • The private exploitation of penal labor first occurred in ancient civilizations as part of a larger system of slave labor supplied to states, municipalities, and religious bodies as well as private individuals. During the fourth and fifth centuries B.C., the Greeks occasionally used slavery (personal and public) as a criminal sanction.
