This means that, technically, it is not illegal for an employer to require an employee to work an 8-hour shift without a break. However, this doesn't mean that all employers choose to forgo breaks, as many recognize the benefits of allowing employees time to rest and recharge during their workday.
No state law in Indiana requires employers to provide their employees with rest breaks for coffee or restroom use. However, if the employer decides to provide rest breaks, they should be mindful that any breaks lasting less than 20 minutes must be compensated.

In the US it varies by state. There is no federal law that requires an employer to give you any breaks. Federal law only states guidelines for IF they give you a break. Most states have no laws either (although a few do). So this means, yep, an employer can make you work any number of hours with no break.
IF the employer is preventing you from taking a break that is required by state or local law, then yes, that is illegal. But if the break is not required by law then preventing you from taking it is not illegal. It also depends on what the repercussions are if you take the break anyway.
