        Calfire inmate firefighters volunteer for placement in it. It’s bad enough as is but don’t make it something it isn’t.

          That’s what they do in US prisons, use them for unpaid labour, or they get a very small amount. But imagine forcing someone to put out a blazing forest fire when they’ve never done such a thing, and then taking them back to prison. That’s insane. It’s all insane.

            Yeah, I mean the forced / coerced prison labour is shit enough as it is, but making that labour actively life-threatening is horrific
