[Fallout] How do the Brotherhood/Minutemen feel about slavery?

Like, I'm role-playing as the Minutemen General in Fo4 and using them as auxiliaries for the Brotherhood. In my headcanon, the Minutemen probably take prisoners rather than killing every raider they find.

So, that means, you have prisoners, and a lot of building to do, right?

So... I mean, I can imagine some kind of judicial system sentencing them to "hard labor," a common sentence in 1700's America (specifically, Ben Franklin used it to punish people who'd tried to escape to live with Native Americans). 

What would the Brotherhood feel about that?

The minuteman are 100% against slavery, but wouldn’t consider prison labor as slavery. 

Prison are costly and take manpower to run, with an all volunteer militia the minutemen would probably have detainment cells but wouldn’t keep prisoners long term. 

Floggings, banishment and death are probably the minutemens most common form of punishment, they just don’t have the resources to run prison labor.
