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.

It's at least a volunteer program, they aren't directly forcing people to fight the fires. A lot of people, the prisoners included, consider it a way of repaying their debt to society. I'm pretty sure I don't agree with a great deal of the situation in which it exists, but I do think that if I was in prison, being able to to something, feel like I still matter, would be some comfort.

I assure you that's not what it feels like.
