** Useing the "Mutate Bonding Process", [[ANaziByAnyOtherName the government of Genosia]] subjected several mutants to this, including [[Characters/MarvelComicsStorm Storm]] & Wolfsbane of the [[ComicBook/XMen X-Men]] and [[Characters/NewMutants New Mutants,]] transforming them into [[SlaveRace Mutates]]. First they are striped of all clothing and forced into [[ClingyCostume special skinsuit's]] that are eventfully bonded to their flesh. They are then put various seasons of psychological condoning and genetic manipulation, with include rewriting their genetic code to make their powers take on more "useful" and binding their will to a specific Genosian Magistrate. Finally, they are shaved bald, the Mutate's minds are erased and an [[YouAreNumberSix identification number]] [[SlaveBrand branded]] on their forehead leaving them mindless, obedient slaves of Genosha

** The Imperium enslaves convicts. A great deal of its factories and ships are crewed by people who lost their freedom for any number of minor offences and financial problems -- people guilty of more major issues are usualy executed or turned into servitors, lobotmized cyborg laborers.
** Imperial Space Marines have slaves to do work that a Space Marine is not needed for, which are generally failed Marine candidates who somehow survived washing out who are often [[HappinessInSlavery more than happy to help]], since they're still in a better position than the vast majority of Imperial citizens. Most such slaves who appear in the fluff are immensely valued personal assistance who even receive longevity treatments that only the rich normally get. Space Marine serfs are also, in some cases, even better trained than the Imperial Guard in combat, being expected to join the defence of their masters' fortress-monasteries if an enemy ever manages to get close enough to be a threat to them. In some fluff it is revealed that some Chapters have serfs who are born, raised, live their lives and die in the Chapter's service.

** Gue'vesa, humans who have been folded into the Tau Empire's sphere of influence. Many Gue'vesa, and fans, [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation might not]] [[HappinessInSlavery see it]] [[DesignatedVillain that way]].

** Several mutants were subjected to this by [[ANaziByAnyOtherName the government of Genosia]] by transforming them into [[SlaveRace Mutates]], striping them of their [[YouAreNumberSix identity's]]. Many mutant heroes including ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}, ComicBook/{{Rogue}}, and their ally Madelyne Pryor, ComicBook/{{Storm|MarvelComics}}, [[ComicBook/NewMutants Meltdown, Rictor, Wolfsbane and Boom Boom]] were kidnapped by them for this purpose, with Storm & Wolfsbane being the only ones to be transformed into Mutates, the resulting rescue mission toppling the original government, which as it turned out, was allied with anti-mutant hate group leader [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain Cameron Hodge]]. Genosha was eventually destroyed shortly after the destruction of the Legacy Virus, and is now an uninhabited wasteland; it is doubtful the threat will arise again.

* In ''ComicStrip/FlashGordon'', Flash and other political prisoners are enslaved at the atomic furnace in the city of the hawkmen.

* In ''Literature/FairBrow'', the protagonist buys an enslaved woman; later, he and an old man are enslaved.

* ''Fanfic/BecomingATrueInvader'':
** PlayedForLaughs as Gaz essentially makes Zim her slave in exchange for not beating him up over accidentally destroying her Game Slave. Things get [[BelligerentSexualTension a little more complicated]] later on, though.
** [[MadScientist Crax]] does this to this to all the other Vortians who survived [[BigBad the Employer's]] destruction of their planet by means of [[ExplosiveLeash explosive collars]].
* ''Fanfic/ADiplomaticVisit'':
** In the last chapter of the sequel ''Diplomat at Large'', this is effectively what happened to Trixie when she was crowned Queen of Dimondia, the crown preventing her from leaving. Twilight is not amused when she finds out and arranges to free her and appoint Jim, the Diamond Dogs' royal chancellor, as King (with a non-enchanted crown) in her place.
** As revealed in chapter 6 of the second sequel, ''Diplomacy Through Schooling'', this is what happened to Neighsay and other ponies captured by the one who drained their magic, being forced to mine for them so the slavers can make the tools they intend to use to overthrow the Equestrian government.
* ''Fanfic/AnEmpireOfIceAndFire'': Under Littlefinger's influence, [[TheCaligula Joffrey]] enslaves thousands of people, both native to Westeros and transported from Essos, and puts them to work building a giant pyramid as a monument to himself.
* ''Franchise/{{Firefly}}'' writers like this. Besides the multiple examples of Kaylee, Inara and River being captured, Jayne and the guys sometimes get it too. Examples:
** Mal buys back an enslaved and mentally broken Jayne in ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/96304 Salvage Mission]]''. Jayne is so mentally broken that he expected to be ordered around by Mal and has to be told he's free. Being tortured by the Alliance and made a BreedingSlave after being bought haven't helped at all.
** ''[[https://fanfiction.net/s/3790963/1/You-Can-t-Take-The-Sky-From-Me You Can't Take The Sky From Me]]'' has the crew discover slaves in the crates they were paid to haul. They wonder how Jayne knew and accuse him of running with slavers, lashing out at him. River reveals that he was traded, not a trader. He and his mother were sold as slaves and he found an overseer raping her and stabbed him to death before escaping.
** Not a Jayne one but Wash, River, Kaylee and Simon in ''[[https://fanfiction.net/s/5502176/1 Freedom To The Free]]''. Poor Simon is hit the worst because he keeps submitting to protect the others. He ends up used for sex by one of the overseers after he's told Kaylee and River will be raped,and rages over breaking his oath when ordered to castrate a man or Wash, who's already been beaten in an escape attempt, will get the same treatment without anesthesia. Simon is not one to hold his tongue and he's punished with a mask that essentially gags him. Fortunately a mad overseer gives Mal the location and BigDamnHeroes rescue ensues.
* In ''Fanfic/TheFledglingYear'', [[spoiler:Cor]] was kidnapped by slavers and spent several chapters MIA as a result until Aravis and Hana rescued him. The brutality of his experience is especially poignant not just because [[spoiler:he's his country's crown prince]], but also because [[spoiler:he was raised as a slave by an abusive adoptive father, who actually tried to sell him to someone else, until he ran away. Getting dragged back into that life would be a FateWorseThanDeath for him more so than for any other character in the fic.]]

%%* ''Fanfic/GapYearAdventures'': Horst Lensen is rescued by two Assassins' Guild colleagues who are on holiday in the area; they hit on a way of effecting a sort of rescue which is unorthodox, breaks no laws, does not involve killing anybody, and which involves an educative experience which Horst desperately needs.%%ZCE. Describe what happens.

* ''Fanfic/LostStormsStormysForgottenPast'' starts with Stormy being kidnapped by traffickers and sold to Murky. She eventually meets Rainbow Brite and escapes Murky.
* ''Fanfic/LovedAndLost'': [[BigBad Prince Jewelius]] usurps Equestria's throne and sentences Twilight's friends and brother to slavery as punishment for their "treason" of inadvertently letting [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E26ACanterlotWeddingPart2 the Changeling invasion]] take place. Applejack and Pinkie Pie become [[SlaveGalley galley slaves]], Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy are forced to [[GladiatorGames fight as gladiators]] for the dragons' entertainment, and Rarity is sent to work in the Diamond Dogs' mines ([[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E19ADogAndPonyShow again]]) along with Shining Armor. They're all rescued a week later by the three deposed princesses and Spike.
%%* ''Fanfic/{{Maat}}'': In the first chapter, after Dani is captured for royal tribute:%%ZCE
%%-->''The earlier exuberance she'd felt vanished in the oppressive reality of the gate. It was was smaller than some she'd seen in her travels, but this one was real and signaled the new, grim reality.\\
%%The reality of being a piece of property.\\
%%A slave.''
* ''Franchise/MarvelUniverse'''s fandom has enough slave fics to make their own subgenres, most notably "Loki becomes the slave of one (or more) of the Avengers", generally as punishment for his crimes during their titular movie, and "Loki becomes slave to Thor" (or vice versa) in various [=AUs=] that take place entirely on Asgard and/or Jotunheim. Though there are a smattering of "one (or more) of the Avengers becomes slave to Loki" as well.
** Limmet's ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/635514/chapters/1150585 Poetic Justice]]'' (2013) is one of the genre codifiers, where Loki accepts slavery as the alternative to execution, but also expects his master (Tony Stark) to beat him up and likely turn him into a bed slave. When Tony gets the anger out of his system and gives Loki light housework instead, Loki gets increasingly troubled by his expectations, but it takes a long time before Tony figures out what exactly is getting under Loki's skin.
** ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/13752294 As You Wish]]'' (orphaned by an anonymous author) has Loki enslaved (by oath) to all the Avengers at once, but (unlike most such fics) he's still got his magic and relative freedom within that confine. But with the Avengers not well understanding how the oath works, and Loki refusing to "beg" (read: actually discuss the problems with them), he ends up laboring under a variety of restrictions such as "don't use the furniture," "don't use hot water," and "don't eat good food." The scenes where the Avengers come to grips with their own insensitivity are great, but the real knife to the gut is when Loki learns that [[spoiler:the Avengers set up a room entirely for him, kitted out with a nice bed, a TV, and a ton of bespoke clothing (while he's been making due with one set of clothes and sleeping in the utility room)]], and realizes that they're not as bad as they seem -- that he's been making a lot of his own misery.
** Nonymos's ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/1669952/chapters/3545090 Screaming Mute and Seeing Blind]]'' (2014) is a rare example of Loki being enslaved to ''Clint Barton'', as well as one of the more brutal takes on the idea: If he fails to obey, or gets too far from his master, the rune on his cheek will start burning him until he's in compliance again (or dead, over the course of ''hours''). That's just ''one'' of the inhuman punishments that Odin created for him.
** [=EndlessStairway=]'s ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/15381480/chapters/35695683 Butterfly]]'' (2018) is an example of Loki as both slave (to Tony) and parent, trying to protect his child. Several slave Loki fics include a child, making use of the Intersex Loki idea (somewhat borrowed from mythology).
** [=EndlessStairway=]'s ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/12188148/chapters/27671058 Tony's Thrall]]'' and kuzibah's ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/16240430/chapters/37966859 The Thrall Prince]]'' are examples of slave Loki with a thrall collar that forces him to follow commands. Marzipanda's ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/15855117 Things Left Buried]]'' uses the same collar, but eschews the typical sentence of slavery in favor of Loki stumbling across a trapped artifact and having to turn himself over to the Avengers to meet the criteria of the collar until they can find a way to remove it. In many such fics, the collar prevents Loki from communicating in certain ways, making the whole problem harder to solve.
** As an example of a Marvel slave fic that doesn't involve Loki, Dira Sudis's ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/5333156 Prima Nocta]]'' (series: ''All These Burning Hearts in Hell'') fits in a Slavery AU where Tony Stark uses his resources to run a secret underground railroad to free slaves (while developing the reputation of being such a hard master that his slaves frequently die or disappear), and he happens across Steve Rogers (enslaved back when slavery was even worse) and Bucky Barnes (trained to be the perfect bed slave) at the same time, neither knowing that the other is in Tony's care. An intriguing exploration of how to deprogram someone that thoroughly traumatized, as well as some of the slavery-is-normal culture clashes (e.g. most slaves go on a protest strike during Independence Day).
* The ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' fanfic ''Fanfic/MaybeSproutWings'' reimagines [[BrokenBird Dean's]] suffering in Hell as suffering earthly slavery, and a human Castiel purchases him with the intent of freeing him.
* ''Fanfic/MrAndMrsGold'': Subverted. The Dark One is capable of giving others [[TheWorseningCurseMark their mark]], making them their {{Familiar}} and their slave. This process not only imbues them with a small amount of their power, but it gives them the ability to know when their master requires them. Rumpelstiltskin does this to Belle at their wedding not to enslave her, but to make sure that he could keep an eye on her and come when she needs him (and vice-versa).%%Played straight with the Huntsman and Regina.
* ''Fanfic/ThePiecesLieWhereTheyFell'': In ''Picking Up the Pieces'', when Wind Breaker reads his Hatchery file, it's revealed that [[spoiler: while many of the Hatchery griffons were essentially BornIntoSlavery (due to their eggs being sold by their parents, previous Hatchery griffons who did so in order to reduce their debt), Wind Breaker is among the many who were kidnapped from free griffons as infants or eggs and essentially sold to the Hatcheries. Discord later reveals that his mother had actually ''escaped'' the Hatchery system, but her egg was stolen by money-grubbing griffons -- race traitors, as Discord calls them -- who sent it back to Equestria.]]
* ''Fanfic/RonmanTheBarbarian'': This is the fate of Ronman and Ruthless after being on the losing side of the Battle of Go City. They free themselves soon enough. This happened to Wadelin, too, in the backstory.
* ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/7257550/chapters/16478446 Royal Pains]]'', a ''WebAnimation/MysterySkullsAnimated'' fanfic, features this trope as Arthur's backstory; he literally can't remember being anything but a slave. And a SexSlave to boot.

* ''Fanfic/VowOfNudity'': Sarah's backstory involves her village being raided and enslaved by the Genasi.
* ''[[http://kleinerkiller.deviantart.com/gallery/41037509 Yognapped]]'': In the second installment, [[spoiler: Peva]] enslaves the surviving Yogscasters and forces them to work in his mines until they break bedrock, a seemingly impossible task. They accomplish it after nearly a month of work, [[spoiler: resulting in Peva and the Ironstorm Remnants getting absolutely annihilated by the freed Herobrine. Peva survives, suffering a VillainousBreakdown after the incident.]]

* In ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie2017'', the Mane Six are nearly sold off into slavery in Klugetown.
* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}}'', the Stabbington brothers threaten Rapunzel with this.

* In ''Film/AgainstAllFlags'', Roc Brasiliano has the handmaidens he captured auctioned off as wives for the pirates of Diego Suarez.

* In ''Film/AnneOfTheIndies'', Anne attempts to sell Molly into slavery, and Molly is forced to endure a degrading slave market scene. However, Pierre's intervention forces Anne to abandon her plans, and she flees with Molly still her captive.

* In ''Film/DonJuanDemarco'', the title character relates a yarn about being captured by slave dealers and sold into the 'service' of a lusty Sultana. Not that he seems to have minded much. It probably helped that the Sultana kept him hidden in her husband's large harem (apparently she didn't object to sharing.) This incident also occurs in Lord Byron's epic poem ''Literature/DonJuan'', upon which the movie is partially based.

* In ''Film/DraculaUntold'', Vlad in his youth was given as tribute along with 999 other Transylvanian boys to be trained as members of the Ottoman [[EliteMooks Janissary]] [[PraetorianGuard corps]]. The Ottomans try to do the same again when Vlad is ruler, but he defies them.
* In ''Film/TheIcePirates'', political prisoners and others are sold into slavery after being "redesigned" [[spoiler: lobotomized and neutered, however, females remain "fully functional."]] They don't "redesign" clergy (shown by a captive monk) "just in case." Unfortunately for the monk shown, [[spoiler: a much larger prisoner beats him up, changes clothes with him and escapes.]]

* In ''Film/KaamelottPremierVolet'', it turns out Myth/KingArthur was enslaved sometime after the end of Season 6 of the [[Series/{{Kaamelott}} series]] during the ten-year hiatus until the events of the film. Oddly, he doesn't seem to have minded, only escaping after people come looking for the rightful king of Britain, and the slave driver doesn't even send anyone after him, telling Quarto the slave merchant that if he wants to free a slave it's his right to do so.
* In ''Film/MortalEngines'', Hester and Tom get put on the auction block at Rustwater, though Hester is deemed only useful for HumanResources due to her sliced-up face.

** In the AlternateContinuity of ''VideoGame/TronTwoPointOh'', Jet is spared from execution when [[spoiler: Mercury]] suggests this as his punishment instead.
* In ''Film/YoungGuns'', Yen Sun (Doc's {{Love Interest|s}}) becomes this to [[BigBad Lawrence Murphy]] when reputetly her mother (a washerwoman) [[DisproportionateRetribution ruined his shirt.]]

* A few ''Literature/FightingFantasy'' gamebooks features the hero getting enslaved against their will:

* In ''Literature/AtTheEarthsCore'', David Innes fights for Dian. He does not realize that after it, he could take her hand to claim her as his wife, take her hand and let go to free her, or do nothing to make her his slave. He does nothing. She is ''[[CultureClash not pleased]]''.
* In the ''Literature/BelisariusSeries'', this is the fate of many on the losing side of battles. Notable examples include Dadaji Holkar and his family (all eventually escaped or freed), a troop of Kushan soldiers (freed after working for Belisarius in the attack on Charax), and the few survivors of Ranapur.
* In ''Literature/{{Beowulf}}'', Hrothgar's queen is described as queenly and wearing gold, but her name is "Wealhtheow", which means "foreign slave". This is a possible {{Backstory}} for her, especially since the name is unique to her in Anglo-Saxon literature.
* In ''Literature/BeyondThirty'', Turck and Victory fall separately into the hands of soldiers of the Abyssinian Empire, with Turck being sold as a slave to an Abyssinian colonel, and Victory being sent to Emperor's harem.

* In ''Literature/ABrothersPrice'', Jerin fears this fate -- if he becomes unmarriageable by being DefiledForever, his sisters will have no other choice than to sell him as SexSlave. There is even an offer by some women they meet to rent Jerin for a night. His eldest sister is ''not'' amused. [[spoiler:He is kidnapped later on, which would eventually lead to some form of slavery, but he is rescued.]]

** In "Literature/ThePeopleOfTheBlackCircle", the villain intends to keep the captured princess Yasmina as a slave.

** In "Literature/TheScarletCitadel" Conan remembers these markets.

* In ''Literature/TheGirlFromTheMiraclesDistrict'', Zelda, like many of her co-workers, has been kidnapped from her home and kept in the Miracles District until it "claimed" her, making her unable to leave and in effect perpetually enslaving her. She was lucky to have an excellent singing voice, which is why she was picked up by one of the better and thus more humane establishments in the district, but it's noted that many other women end up in a far worse position.

* In ''Literature/AHarvestOfWar'' thousands of Draeze citizens are marched out of the city into slavery. [[spoiler:It doesn't stick.]]

* ''Literature/TheHungerGames'': Lavinia. Avoxes are the slaves of Panem.

** In ''Chessmen of Mars'', TheMole who saves Gahan and Tara was a childhood friend of Gahan's, enslaved.
** In ''A Fighting Man of Mars'', this is Tavia's {{Backstory}} (though she was too young to remember) and also that of Tavan, a minor but significant character; John Carter frees him for his services and because he was obviously of [[BlueBlood noble birth]] gave him a place in the fleet. [[spoiler:Plus, he turns out to be Tavia's father.]]
* In ''Literature/JudgmentOnJanus'' by Creator/AndreNorton, Niall sells himself to buy enough drugs for his mother to have a peaceful death.

** In ''Literature/TheWonderfulWizardOfOz'', Dorothy is told it is easy to find the Witch: just go into her lands and she'll enslave you. The Witch ordered her servants to kill them, except for the Lion, who she thought was useful. The Winged Monkeys were only able to incapacitate the Scarecrow and the Tin Man (who Dorothy and the Witch's liberated slaves were able to find and repair later); Dorothy was spared because a blessing put upon her by the Witch of the North prevented them - or the villain - from hurting her. Taking her prisoner was the only option at that point, and the Witch simply had to bide her time until she could find a way around it.
** In ''Literature/OzmaOfOz'', the Nome King justifies turning the queen of Ev and her children to ornaments because they had been sold to him as slaves, and it was more humane than slaving in the mines.

* In the Hindu epic ''Literature/{{Mahabharata}}'' all five of the Pandava princes and their wife Draupadi end up enslaved to their cousin and nemesis Duryodhana after first staking all their wealth, their kingdom, their personal possessions and ultimately their freedom [[LostHimInACardGame in a dice game, which they lose]] to Duryodhana. Duryodhana then proceeds to order Draupadi stripped off her clothes in the Royal court, since he now owns her. Luckily for her, Krishna intervenes to ensure that Draupadi remains fully clothed. Later on, Duryodhana is shamed into releasing the Pandavas into a long exile instead.

* In ''Literature/OrdealInOtherwhere'', Charis signs an indefinite term labor contract; she is being traded for slaves for agricultural labor.

* In ''Literature/ReadyPlayerOne'', [[spoiler: the protagonist arranges this fate for himself to hack into an inaccessible computer system]].

* In ''Literature/TheRomanMysteries'', Nubia starts the series as a slave. Many other children are also kidnapped and enslaved, forming the basis of the plots for ''The Pirates of Pompeii'' and ''The Colossus of Rhodes''. The Four Detectives are briefly captured in ''The Pirates of Pompeii'' and are going to be sold as slaves. Jonathan is also briefly enslaved in ''The Assassins of Rome'' and at the end of ''The Enemies of Jupiter'' he uses the brand mark to pose as a slave. Three of the Four Detectives are captured yet again in ''The Colossus of Rhodes''.
* In ''Literature/TheRedVixenAdventures'' Alinadar is a ChildSoldier SpacePirate until she was wounded and captured by the titular Red Vixen, who decided to keep Ali as a slave as the girl was quite insane by this point.

%%* In ''Literature/ShadowsOfTheApt'', what the Wasps do with everyone not a Wasp and not killed.%%Iby by the s?

* In ''Literature/{{Spartan}}'', Talos, the protagonist, is abandoned by his father as an enfant, because he was born cripple. [[spoiler: Thankfully, he is rescued by a helot.]]

** In ''Literature/TheSilmarillion'', both Men and Elves are enslaved by Morgoth and his minions.

** In ''Literature/TheFallOfGondolin'', Tuor is separated from his adoptive family during an Orc ambush, and is captured and brought before Lorgan, chief of the Easterlings ruling Dor-lómin. Lorgan takes Tuor as his slave, intending to break his spirit, but Tuor endures patiently and quietly his abuse as waiting for a chance to escape. Three years later, Tuor is sent with other thralls into the woods, and he picks an axe, kills the guards and flees into the hills.
* ''Literature/TortallUniverse'': Aly, the protagonist of ''[[Literature/TrickstersDuet Trickster's Choice]]'', is kidnapped and sold into slavery in a neighboring nation. This actually forms the premise of the whole duet. Luckily the people she ends up with are fairly nice as things go, although extenuating circumstances mean she is treated better than most. She still deliberately gets herself injured during her first night in the slave pens, though, because she wants to avoid any owners who think she'd make a good [[SexSlave bed-warmer]]; she deliberately makes her bruises look worse than they are, so that she'll give the impression of someone who would be more trouble than it's worth. She only finds out later that she didn't even ''need'' to do this--probably--because [[spoiler: the Trickster god of the area is watching over her and wants her help. She's not happy to find out that she could have survived without needing to break her nose.]]

* In ''Literature/{{Victoria}}'', this is what happens to [[AmazonBrigade Azanians]] who refuse to bend, after their LadyLand is conquered by the Northern Confederation. The latter, a reactionary Christian Dominionist state, are outraged that something so evil as a country of lesbian Amazons can even exist, and are [[CrushingThePopulace very thorough]] in dismantling it. The survivors are given the choice between assimilation (which amounts to becoming good Christian housewives, more or less) and being sold as property.

** Alaric's fate in Creator/BenCounter's ''[[Literature/GreyKnights Hammer of Daemons]]'', in GladiatorGames. [[spoiler:But he leads a GladiatorRevolt.]]
** In Creator/SandyMitchell's Literature/CiaphasCain novel ''Death or Glory'', the orks have enslaved civilians.
** In Creator/DanAbnett's Literature/GauntsGhosts novel ''Traitor General'', the surviving inhabitants of Gereon have been enslaved to destroy its Imperial temples. Later they were forced to work under excruciating conditions, and those who managed to live long enough to see the Imperial liberation became physical and emotional cripples.
** In John French's Literature/ThousandSons novel ''Ahriman: Exile'', Hemellion, the king of the planet Vohal, is enslaved by the Prodigal Sons after they [[ApocalypseHow/Class5 kill his world and exterminate his people]]. Ahriman gives Hemellion over to Sanakht to act as his personal servant.
** In ''Literature/SpaceWolf'', the presumed fate of the survivors of Ragnar's tribe. Motivating his desire for {{revenge}}.

** This seems to be the fate of [[spoiler:Tsu'gan]] in Nick Kyme's ''Firedrake''.

* ''Series/BreakingBad'': This happens to [[spoiler:Jesse]] in "Ozymandias", when he's taken prisoner by the Neo-Nazi gang and forced to cook them meth, all the while they torture, humiliate, and starve him, and tell him if he tries to escape, they'll kill [[spoiler:his ex-girlfriend and her son, a threat they make good on and [[ForcedToWatch force him to watch]].]] Fortunately, he's able to escape [[spoiler:in the finale, when Walt arrives and guns down all the Nazis.]]

** "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS9E4TheMutants The Mutants]]": Ky complains this has been done to his people.
** In "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS10E4PlanetOfTheDaleks Planet of the Daleks]]", the Spiridons.

** In "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS21E3Frontios Frontios]]", to captured humans.
** In [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E3PlanetOfTheOod "Planet of the Ood"]], it's revealed that the titular species were [[spoiler:[[HumansAreBastars enslaved by humanity]] and lobotomized by the corporation managing the slave trade to keep them complacent]].

** When Kilgrave and Jessica speak later in the series she explicitly refers to these sorts of people as slaves (although, ironically, in that particular instance the two people under discussion - Hank and the bodyguards - were not, as Kilgrave had hired those two with actual money in order to defuse this specific accusation from Jessica). Double subverted later on, though, when it turns out he did have them under his control; just not in the way Jessica expected. He uses his powers as the primary way of controlling them, and he pays them so they continue to carry out his orders even when he isn't capable of giving them.

** In "[[Recap/TheOuterLimits1995S2E16TheDeprogrammers The Deprogrammers]]", Evan Cooper and millions of other humans were enslaved when the Torkor conquered Earth.
** In "[[Recap/TheOuterLimits1995S5E4TheGrell The Grell]]", Jesha's grandfather was made a slave as a boy, as were the rest of the Grell alive at that time.
** In "[[Recap/TheOuterLimits1995S5E7TheHumanOperators The Human Operators]]" the backstory has the surviving humans on the AI ships made their slaves, then [[RapeByProxy forced to]] [[BornIntoSlavery conceive more]] so they could make repairs.

* In ''Webcomic/DragonMango'', some captured goblins are forced to work until they pay off their debt.

* ''Webcomic/{{Lustomic}}'': Male submission/forced slaves.

* In ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'', this is how Rampage winds up serving Megatron. Rampage's [[HeartDrive spark]] is immortal, so Megatron [[YourSoulIsMine cuts off a piece of it and places it in a box]] that he can use to [[ImHavingSoulPains inflict excruciating pain on Rampage]] if he disobeys.

** In "[[Recap/FuturamaS2E11HowHermesRequisitionedHisGrooveBack How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back]]", Hermes and [=LaBarbara=] are tricked into attending a "resort" where visitors are forced into hard labor. Hermes uses his powers of Bureaucracy to "efficiently" dump all the work on one Australian guy and free everyone else.
** In "[[Recap/FuturamaS3E17APharaohToRemember A Pharaoh to Remember]]", Fry, Leela and Bender are made slaves in an AncientEgypt-like planet. The Pharaoh is about to free them when he dies, but Bender scams his way into being the next Pharaoh, leaving Fry and Leela as slaves until the end of the episode.

* In ''Fanfic/LostBoy'', not having been BornIntoSlavery, Hiccup was sold by his village as a tiff for peace against an invading tribe after his aunt and uncle die, where he is passed from village to village before he wound up in the whorehouse Stoick found him in.

* ''Fanfic/{{Maat}}'': In the first chapter, after Dani is captured for royal tribute:
--> [...] the oppressive reality of the gate. It was smaller than some she'd seen in her travels, but this one was real and signaled the new, grim reality.\\
The reality of being a piece of property.\\
