the usual stuff with chains and collars is getting kind of boring.
i thought something futuristic...looking peacefully white but you know that they are in trouble....maybe with a bizarre mask or helmet..they should look kind of helpless...
i made some examples..my favorite is the 2nd one.
feel free to comment to this and maybe post some examples of yourself...would be very helpful.

You could go cyberpunk and have them hooked up to a bunch of wires/cables. Cybernetic implants or limb replacements. Maybe eyes replaced by a vizor or independent implants. Slaves to the machine/system. In short lots of chrome cables and angst.

The Jock Strap on the extreme left is very impracticle for a slave! Its horns will constantly be getting in the way of any task to be performed. go with electronic collars, bracelets and anklets as a form of future digital leg irons and manacles.

This, or something like the translators in the Dune movie.

I would also go with some kind of thechnological implant, something tht would look and feel de-humanising, which is partly what (real) slavery requires. The less a society can identify with its slaves, the easier it is for them to 'justify' them. There are other ways that societies have done that in the past but you need something with visual impact. Something that suggests an introduced technological dependece might be good. The masks are a step in that direction.

Maybe his only function is to be a living statue? I actually like it, it's artsy. ^^ Any viewer will wonder what that slaves use is.
But...
Mostdigitalcreations has a future prisoner with laser-beam-handcuffs in their freestuff and also an easyposing rope in their shop. You can probably also go well with tiny "implants" of any shape on head, neck or body, as tiny chips will probably be enough in the future to restrict peoples actions...

Uncomfortable? How about humiliating?
Maybe a bag collector where they keep their urine and feces because they are not allowed to take any break "at all"?
I am picturing an uncomfortable mechanical adult diaper here.
Passion is anger and love combined. So if it looks
angry, give it some love!

No, it should look like helpless...kind of erotic...but not disgusting..

I reckon it's a toss-up, in the year 2525, between making them wear those things or just sending them to the soylent factory.

man how about those weirdo humanoids in riddick? you know, the guys with the helmets that scanned things. that was some creepy stuff there. the advisors that were just laying on tables were pretty wild too.
go that way really fast.
