CalFire admits in presser this morning that they have NO resources to fight this. Like, NONE. Guess why? Bc the prison populations, who have for decades been California’s primary firefighter hand-crews on wildfires, are too sick with Covid to go.https://www.sacbee.com/news/california/fires/article243977827.html …
I had no idea we used prisoners to fight fires. Our prison systems need more reform that I thought.
We (ab)use them for a lot more than fighting fires. Watch @ava's documentary 13TH. Netflix published it in its entirety on YouTube.https://youtu.be/krfcq5pF8u8
Not that slavery isn't bad, but to add insult to injury, despite having that skill set after being released, these individuals can't be hired as firefighters because they have a record. This is a great opportunity for rehabilitation that's being squandered.
I'm glad you've learned this.
Watch “Fire Chasers” on Netflix. Pretty well done!
slavery is constitutionally protected for prisoners, without stipulations on what they're in prison for. half of all US prisoners are in on drug charges. 5% of all americans have been in prison. our prison system is just a modern enabling of mass slavery.
Many are mothers who are motivated to “volunteer” in exchange for time off their sentences.
And the kicker is they have to be properly trained just as any other fire fighter, but once they get out of prison they can't become one.
