    “But we should recognize the value in programs of this kind, restructure them to avoid exploitation and treat them as anchors for a new approach to criminal justice. We shouldn’t need a disaster to guide us toward this better way.” -

    On a greater good that might come from the CA fires: "excellent example of a response to wrongdoing that seeks to make the victim whole, seeks to make the community whole, and seeks to help the wrongdoer prepare for positive relations with the broader society."

    As she describes in her devastating book “Cuz,” ’s cousin Michael felt a sense of purpose fighting fires as a prisoner. Would he still be alive today if he could have earned a living as a firefighter post-release?

    There are currently thousands of prisoners fighting wildfires in California for pay of $2/day and $1 extra for every hour spent on an active fire line. These firefighters are barred from working in civilian fire departments after release from prison due to criminal records.

    A really fascinating section of 's book CUZ is about this program.

    Today, more than 2,000 volunteer inmate firefighters, including 58 youth offenders, are battling wildfire flames throughout CA. Inmate firefighters serve a vital role, clearing thick brush down to bare soil to stop the fire's spread.
