Involuntary servitude is another name for slavery. This is different from a situation such as indentured servitude, in which a person willingly entered into a condition of servitude in exchange for a specific payment, such as the fee for ocean voyage from Europe to America. These arrangements had end times for when the contract would be concluded, and the debt paid in full. Slavery, on the other hand, was involuntary, totally one-sided in terms of benefit, and endured for the duration of the slave's life.

the 13th Amendment
The 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution abolishes slavery and involuntary servitude, except that it does permit involuntary servitude as a punishment for convicted criminals. It does not specifically address involuntary servitude in the form of required government service such as a military draft.
The 13th Amendment abolishes slavery with a single exception. It allows involuntary servitude 'as a punishment for crime whereof the party has been duly convicted.'
It prohibited slavery and involuntary servitude unless as a punishment when the person is duly convicted and still prohibits slavery and involuntary servitude today.
Domestic servitude specifically refers to forced labor that occurs within a household or domestic setting, often involving the exploitation and control of domestic workers. Involuntary servitude, on the other hand, is a broader term that encompasses any form of forced labor or service without the individual's consent, not limited to domestic settings.

As punishment for a duly convicted crime
