No. At least it isn't intended to be. Prison is there to punish and rehabilitate (in some cases--the people on death row don't get any rehabilitation) the people who are in there, and the prisoners who work in the prison industries are paid for their services.

In the US, the 13th Amendment abolished "slavery, (or) involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted."
