So all we need to do is find a way to put people in prison!

Win-win!

A lot of them are experienced though. They’ve been using prison labor for wildfire fighting for years.

Maybe they should pay them the real wage the other firefighters get then? I'm cool with them working but not with them being taken advantage of. That lowers the salary of every fire fighter not just the prisoners. That means a real firefighter is out of a job if a slave can be forced to do it.
