FTFY.
> Many volunteer for these jobs
True, because the alternative is being locked in your cell 23 hours per day.
In any case, using slave labor for profit is morally abhorrent. It creates very negative societal incentives, and it allows keeping the overall labor rate lower. I'd happily fight fires in CA or elsewhere, if the price is right.

- linuxftw 5y agoNot all prisons are the same. The labor camps operate like this, your family member was either not in one of these prisons, or he took the job.
