There's not a single week with police not cracking on one of those slavery dungeons, and the people in charge are just middlemen that go to jail... and someone else sets another slavery operation, sometimes a couple blocks away from the original one. And we're talking about a country where slavery is severely condemned, let alone countries where police and government don't care at all
OK look, where I live you can drive to Haiti in about an hour.

I hear this whining all the time. But what you and others are describing is not slavery, it's one or a mix of any of the following:

kidnapping
false imprisonment
prostitution
corruption
organized crime
doing unsavory jobs for very little money

While many of these things are horrible and illegal and others are unfortunate and lamentable, none of them are slavery.
