I'm still uneasy about it. They're in a vulnerable position and the alternative is unpleasant because of the same people offering the "opportunity". The pay is only legal because they're prisoners. If it was a fa

It's hard and unpleasant. It's also dangerous, involuntary, and effectively uncompensated. Job training can contribute to rehabilitation but most former inmates will never be able to work as firefighters because of their criminal

The wind is too high for aerial firefighting. You could have every firefighting plane in the world in LA right now and it wouldn't matter. None of them can fly. Do you have some reason to believe more planes is the best allocation of
