@nbcnews: Months after Californians voted against a ballot proposition to end inmate servitude, incarcerated firefighters are on the front lines of the deadly wildfires in the Greater Los Angeles area. Lori Wilson, the California Assembly member who spearheaded the proposition, said she’s spoken with incarcerated people who say many love the work they do as firefighters, but they wish they were paid more. “They find it truly rewarding and enriching,” Wilson told NBC News. “It’s something they are extremely proud of. We’re fighting to have additional wages, and to be fairly compensated. Not only in adequate wages, but once they leave incarceration, being able to use that service for further employment.”

Give them certs to use in the future when they get out. Compensate them to minimum wage but send the check to their families on the outside. Family gets pay and they get certs to work when done
