Slavery has not been abolished in the USA, so why would they condemn it?

You could certainly argue that debt slavery makes anyone who isn’t a capitalist a slave, but I mean:

except as a punishment for crime

Slavery, even outside of debt slavery, continues to exist in the USA. amerikkka

You can make the points you're making about wage slavery, but you're conveying it a way that seems like you're saying it's same as chattel slavery and the transatlantic slave trade, and it sounds like you're minimizing just how much suffering it caused (and still does)
