If the contract was clear and agreed upon initially without fraud or coercion, essentially limiting the options to get out of the contract to zero or practically zero, is it still kidnapping? "the reality is that the "contract worker" is a slave, threatened by violence, lacking any freedom of movement, and paid nothing." I'm assuming that the contract did not say that wages would be zero, otherwise no worker would have agreed to it. If wages turn out to be less than what was in the contract, then there is a contract violation. If one is held against one's will under threat of violence, then one has been kidnapped. Seems to me.
