Involuntary servitude is another way to say?
Involuntary servitude is another way to make 'Forced Slavery' sound more politically correct, so they might say. Involuntary servitude is meant to sound less harsh and not as inhumane as it actually is.Forced slavery was supposed to be abolished in the 1800's, but I think they just worked out a way to trick people with words, so it doesn't sound so bad.. and the people will probably go along with it... they thought.It's not Forced on you, it is just Involuntary..It's not Slavery, you are just being placed under servitude and will be performing services for us.See, it doesn't sound so bad.. Does it?Don't be fooled. * Forced and Involuntary are the same word. * Servitude and Slavery are also the same word.* They at least carry the same meaning, within the game.

Why is this phrase except as punishment for a crime in the Thirteenth Amendment?
The words of the thirteenth amendment are:Section 1.Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.Section 2.Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.The words "except as punishment for a crime" are necessary because prison labor is often involuntary work and would therefore qualify under "involuntary servitude". (The prisoner does not wish to perform the labors he may be required to perform.) As a result, this exception was placed in there. The reason that involuntary servitude is in the amendment was to prevent Whites from re-enslaving African-Americans by calling the act of enslavement by a different name.
What is the difference between service and servitude?
Service typically refers to aiding or helping others, often in exchange for payment or as a way of fulfilling a need.

Is involuntary servitude permitted in the US upon conviction of a crime?
Involuntary servitude is commonly known as slavery, but as Wikipedia defines it, involuntary servitude is "is a United States legal and constitutional term for a person laboring against that person's will to benefit another, under some form of coercion...involuntary servitude does not necessarily connote the complete lack of freedom experienced in chattel slavery..." In other words, it can be mandated community service or something similar. So, yes, it is permitted, but ONLY as punishment for crime. In depth explanation: "In 1865 Congress enacted thehttp://www.answers.com/topic/amendment-xiii-to-the-u-s-constitution, which the Union states ratified. Section 1 of the amendment provides that "[n]either slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." Section 2 gives Congress the authority to enforce the provisions of section 1. The Thirteenth Amendment makes involuntary servitude unlawful whether the compulsion is by a government or by a private person. The penalty for violation of the amendment must be prescribed by law. Although the principal purpose of the amendment was to abolish African slavery, it also abolished other forms of compulsory labor similar to slavery, no matter what they are called. For example, it abolished bond service and peonage, forms of compulsory service based on a servant's indebtedness to a master. An individual has a right to refuse or discontinue employment. No state can make the quitting of work a crime, or establish criminal sanctions that hold unwilling persons to a particular labor. A state may, however, withhold unemployment or other benefits from those who, without just cause, refuse to perform available gainful work." sources: Wikipedia, http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Involuntary+Servitude
