I what way do you think prisoners are *not* basically the same as the
people everywhere else?

Are you implying that criminals are genetically disposed to be
criminals? Your statements sound like you think criminals are a genetic
subspecies of human. And what do the genes have to do with slavery? Do
you thinks slaves were genetically different than masters, or that
slaves were bred in such a way as to become more violent? You seem to
be linking slavery to genetics and to criminal behavior. What exactly
are you talking about?
