The Thirteenth amendment only outlawed certain forms of slavery.

Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Primarily prison should be about rehabilitation and reform, not retribution.
