The biggest problem that I see is not how to keep them from hurting us, it is how to motivate them to perform as slaves given modern attitudes; I suspect whips, cattle prods, etc. would not be supported. Actually, in prison a basic principle is that work is a privilege, and most inmates see it as such. Between being cooped up all day in a 6x8 cell, or getting out and working, most choose work.
