    What would they do to you if you refuse to work for free?

      Throw you in solitary, which is torture.

      Feed you nothing but nutraloaf, which is torture.

      I’m sure they can come up with other ways to torture you for not doing what they say.

                Not literally, no.

                At least not without repercussion.
