Yes, you don't need to be convicted to be forced into labor under the 13th. Pretrial detainees can be forced to do "housekeeping chores" and not violate the constitution.

This shows that the government (all branches) has always ignored the Constitution. It clearly says in the 13th that it requires the person to be "duly convicted".
There was a lawsuit, and the US Supreme Court interpreted the 13th amendment and carved out an exception, because of course they did.
That actually is a good point, in the US justice system, you’re guilty until proven innocent (for most people).
Just the fact that you have a case has ruined lives.
