      Yes the alternatives suck. But are you aware that there’s people who volunteer to be wilderness firefighters for free? Fire camp is a good program.

        But then those prisoners aren’t allowed to be hired by professional fire crews after release.

        Theu can’t apply the skills they learn.

          Source? As far as I can find, there are no laws in the US banning felons from being firefighters. A company can deny an application because of it, but it’s case-by-case, not some countrywide thing.
