| | In many societies slavery was the precursor of a modern criminal justice system; many [[Islamic]] societies regard a modern criminal justice system, with [[prison]]s for convicted criminals or [[prisoners of war]], as a form of [[Western]] [[colonialism]] that impinges on their indigenous cultural values and traditions of enslavement for offenders and people who become a public charge. In [[Marxist]] theory the entire population, other than government officials and [[bureaucrat]]s, are public charges. | | In many societies slavery was the precursor of a modern criminal justice system; many [[Islamic]] societies regard a modern criminal justice system, with [[prison]]s for convicted criminals or [[prisoners of war]], as a form of [[Western]] [[colonialism]] that impinges on their indigenous cultural values and traditions of enslavement for offenders and people who become a public charge.
