It’s the explicit definition barred under the 13th Amendment. So, it’s the appropriate one to use.
Your other definition similarly doesn’t work with your argument. It’s not “for the profit of another” it’s as punishment for a criminal act and even if the primary goal was profit, it’s not “for another” it’s being employed in the service of society.
The final definition also fall short. It’s not exploitative, it’s not coercion. It’s forced and delivered by the established system of justice.
Here’s the thing, you don’t have to like labor as a criminal punishment. But, your distaste for the practice doesn’t make it slavery.
compelled forced labor, especially for the profit of another, is the definition of slavery, and:
inmates are used to produce exports for the prison industry that prisons collect billions of dollars from in revenue.
that labor is often not punitive.
that is compelled labor for the profit of another.
it is exploitative because they are paid pennies on the dollar or not at all, while being charged to stay in prison and charged for the services they received.
most inmates leave jail at a net loss since US prisons, even though they’re making money off the prisoners, are pay for stay.

nope, you all kindsa wrong again:
