It's a weird article. Specifically the bit about housing prisoners in foreign countries.

It's slave trade. Let's not mix words.

In the case of El Salvador (and assuming prisoners are forced to work), I can see how it is slave trade. In the case of Guatemala, which did not accept prisoners and does not include forced labor, I don’t see how it is slave trade. Am I missing something?
