Don't even have to be convicted. Jails force inmates to work for the jail. If you refuse they throw you into solitary confinement, till you "adjust your attitude." The vast majority of people in jail couldn't make bail, and are waiting for trial, therefore are innocent of any crime they have been charged with.
Well, illegal slavery is always an option. The opportunities for legal slavery are minimal, though.
