&gt; aren't all of them held there essentially illegally (i.e. have their passports taken, etc.)?

The number who are illegally trafficked there is actually very small. Most are there voluntarily and agree to the conditions. It seems crazy to us but to someone living in an Indian slum without a job, earning $300 a month - even in harsh conditions - is a significant step up.
