Kamala Harris argued to the state supreme court that releasing nonviolent offenders early could not be done because it would impact the state's firefighting capability. This of course was such a horrific thing to do that she was never heard from again.

Unethically using prison labor to extort entire industries is what the warden in Shawshank Redemption was doing. He killed himself in the movie when people found out but in real life it is done in every prison in the nation and is strongly encouraged by major politicians.

That's a special kind of what the gently caress. remember that the US criminal "justice" system has been heavily interwoven with slavery and white supremacy from the start. prison labor in the US largely started immediately after the end of slavery, as a way to preserve as much of the pre-Civil War status quo as possible technically the prisoners don't have to fight fires. but because their sentences are shortened if they do, they're essentially punished for not doing it. also, it pays a whopping four bucks a day, significantly more than other prison jobs the convict firefighting program dates back to WWII, when the typical firefighting workforce was overseas shooting at people. inmates were brought in "temporarily" to fill the staffing shortfall. the histories seem to skim over why they continued to use inmates even after the soldiers came home, but it's pretty obvious - convicts can be paid well under minimum wage, and they're not allowed to complain about the working conditions no matter how terrible and unsafe things get

And as mentioned earlier, all the inmates who were trained and experienced firefighters while in prison are ineligible to become firefighters on release, because they don't hire felons. So California is always chronically short on trained firefighters because they can't hire felons, which means they need to use slave labor felons to make up the shortfall.
