slaves are always treated badly

Answer:

Many ancient civilizations had codified the treatment of slave. The Bible (a Christian Holy Book) defines who may be enslaved, how they must be treated, how long they could be held as slaves, punishments for mistreating slaves, etc.). In the American South the popular view is that slaves were always mistreated. Slaves were however valuable property and a wise owner had to strike a balance between protecting his investment and output. In today's world where slavery still exists (for labour, soldiers or as sexual objects) slaves are often "free" to the taker and are used as disposable items.
