Not very good. Most were underfed, overworked and brutalized. They were beaten and the women raped.

punishments several lashes were the punishment for running away. In the following year, the punishment was extended to hanging the runaway. By 1641 the law was changed such that death would be the punishment unless the servant requested that his or her service be extended after the expiration of the contract. The service could be extended up to twice the time absent, not to exceed seven years. n the Colonial period of the 17th and 18th centuries thousands of settlers arrived in the colonies as indentured servants, who were expected to work without wages to pay off their debts, which included the cost of transportation to the colonies. Large estates and workshops continued to employ indentured servants in the Middle Colonies long after African slaves had largely replaced indentured servants as the labor force on tobacco and rice plantations in the Southern Colonies. Please read these accounts by individuals who at different times experienced life as indentured servants firsthand or witnessed the situation of indentured servants in the colonies. Richard Frethorne was an indentured servant in Virginia in 1623. George Alsop was an indentured servant in Maryland in the mid-17th century. Gottlieb Mittelberger was a schoolmaster and organist who wrote about the experiences of indentured servants in Pennsylvania around 1750. Hugh Jones was a clergyman and college professor in Virginia in 1724 who published a description of this colony. I hope this help
