You understand they weren't paid for that training or job, right?

You understand they weren't allowed to do that job when they were out of prison, right? Even as a volunteer they'd be disqualified. They received no benefits for risking their lives, but we're punished if they did not. They were not sentenced to death.

To your main point, slavery is bad in all contexts. Corporations shouldn't get to have slaves because they pay their workers so badly they turned to crime.

No, you're still misunderstanding. Police explicitly exist to do violence on behalf of the state. That is their exclusive function, everywhere, at all times.

If you do not need violence against your fellow citizens, do not call the police.
