Prison Inmates Paid PENNIES To Fight LA Fires!

Fire crews are getting a unique hand in trying to slow the blazes tearing through Los Angeles - the California prison system. Nearly 400 inmates are among the 14,000 emergency responders working on the wildfires that have destroyed at least 2,000 buildings and killed at least seven in the Los Angeles area. At present, inmates are believed to make up approximately 30 percent of the state’s firefighting force, according to the Los Angeles Times. The inmates are paid, though it’s a pitifully small amount — approximately $27 for an entire 24-hour shift. They’re also provided food in the form of sandwiches and fruit. Guest hosts Russell Dobular and Keaton Weiss of the Due Dissidence podcast talk discuss California’s lengthy history of using prison labor to fight wildfires and Kamala Harris’ involvement as Attorney General in keeping inmates in prison to maintain firefighters’ ranks.
