    Congrats ! Looking forward to reading your important work.

    If you would have told the 21-year-old Carl who left for graduate school that he would be persistent and resilient enough to see this project through, I wouldn’t have believed you. But I’ve been fortunate to have the right people in my life to make sure I did.

    It's unjust to pay incarcerated people $1 an hour for this dangerous, grueling work, then not even allow them a chance at a firefighting job when they leave prison.

    Thousands of prisoners fight California's wildfires but can't work as fire fighters after leaving prison. Our friend Romarilyn Ralston of Project Rebound talks about her experiences in a California fire camp on Democracy Now.
