@VinMan17 They put out fires while incarcerated but can’t work as firefighters when they get out. This system is a scam

@vicesetvirtues California is slowly trying to fix that issue...decades and decades later. The prison system is evil.

@VinMan17 Better than being in jail I guess I’d wanna save lives

@VinMan17 @MzCheng363 I didn't know about this and it's shocking.

@VinMan17 @inihelene Talk about paying your debt to society.

@VinMan17 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

@VinMan17 They're just inmate firefighters, they DO do much

@VinMan17 Is that the Golden Gate Bridge?

@VinMan17 A great way to thank them would to abolish this crap which is basically slavery

@VinMan17 And who are prohibted from becoming fire fighters because felons cannot become fire fighters in the great state if California.

@VinMan17 And also will likely be ineligible for any jobs as an EMS worker upon release due to their criminal record and our perverse need to continue to punish people

@VinMan17 Wouldn’t this technically be slave labor then?

@VinMan17 Massive respect to them man. I have no idea how brave and committed they are

@VinMan17 @Noursepatty OMG

@VinMan17 @trashlyn_ Actual slave labor

@VinMan17 Holy crap. I didn’t even know this was a thing. I’m east coast and have never heard of this! They are literally risking their lives and are probably out in as the “expendable” front line and get nothing 😱

@VinMan17 Which then lead to a shortage of firefighters when the prison population had to quarantine due to COVID. Everything is so messed up!

@VinMan17 Yea but like what they in for

@VinMan17 So what you're saying is Task Force X is a real thing? 🤔
