Nobody is stopping you from being a firefighter outside of jail.

  Have you tried? Do you have your certs? Would you pass the physical? Background check?

    I mean if your concern is "people in prison have an easier path to being a firefighter" maybe we should reconsider what it means to be one?

      My concern only becomes an issue if prisons put them on parity with actual trained firefighters (as was being suggested, but is not the case). Presently they are not, and they are not used that way. They usually do not do the same types or level of work. I think the first step is people educating themselves even marginally on the topic of discussion before proposing policy changes.
