Feeding, housing and guarding someone for 14 years has got to be ridiculously expensive. All for uttering a few words.

Do prisoners in the UK do slave labor like in the US?

Technically its not slave labor.

They just out you in solitary confinement with really bad food, zero things to do to pass the time. Psychologically torture you until you agreed to do unpaid/below-minimum-wage work.

"They are voluntarily working!" -the warden said to the judge, while concealing a police baton behind him.
