To me, it's worth addressing in the sense that, if necessary, it is worth being able to argue that prison labor is slave labor and slave labor is evil. I don't see any reason to believe there's even the tiniest speck of good in it.
I would say it's also worth addressing in the sense that presuming that people arrested for vagrancy are unable to come to work may lead to false conclusions.
But, sure, if you believe that because this is an ethical discussion it goes without saying that organizations like UNICOR are presumed not to exist, since they don't have even the tiniest speck of good, then I understand why you make that presumption without further qualification.
