Title.

Example. The nearby city uses prison labor to sweep homeless camps. The prison laborers cannot refuse to sweep or else it gets marked against their jail program terms. Simply put: city managers forcing prisoners to evict the homeless. Under capitalism every business and institution gradually replaces 'free trade' exchanges into blackmail bargaining at its core. The car repo and tow truck scam companies, pay-day loans, expanding of rent deposits and lease requirements, etc.
