[/url]I define slave as someone who is put to work by someone else involuntarily.

So, a person kept locked in someone else’s basement wouldn’t qualify as “a slave,” but only “a prisoner.”

According to your definition, then, a slave is just a subset of the set of people called “prisoners.”

The prisoner only becomes a specific type of prisoner called “slave” when the prisoner is also forced to work (you didn’t specify that the work need be productive).
