In California they have prisoners fight the wildfires. I find it sickening, but it's a popular program. I wonder if that's where this result comes from. The wildfires get worse and worse and they need bodies to sacrifice. Depressing.
My thoughts as well.
It's the wildfires. They don't want to pay more in taxes to hire more firefighters, at least that's what makes sense to me.
It's still an abominably shitty thing and, IMHO, a human rights violation too.
That's a volunteer program. This is inside the prison work and comes with physical and mental punishment if you refuse.
Not exactly "voluntary" in a meaningful way if the alternative is in-prison work or punishment.
