The article👇🏼is a autobiographical look at the #lafires but w/o much research on the inmate crews unfortunately; it's not true that inmates who join the fire camp are coerced. It is an entirely volunteer position and one has to qualify for it, good behavior and all that. They are trained to clear brush and other kindling 🪓🪚. I'm an abolitionist so I don't love any of this but there's literally zero reason to post these men up as enslaved.
