Maybe they should pay them the real wage the other firefighters get then? I’m cool with them working but not with them being taken advantage of. That lowers the salary of every fire fighter not just the prisoners. That means a real firefighter is out of a job if a slave can be forced to do it.
If they get wages then they’d be able to build a better life after being paroled and they wouldn’t be getting sent back to prison on parole violations. So the system would lose its “human capital”… it’s sad. Never go to prison, especially not the first time.
A lot of them are experienced though. They’ve been using prison labor for wildfire fighting for years.
