      That’s what they do in US prisons, use them for unpaid labour, or they get a very small amount. But imagine forcing someone to put out a blazing forest fire when they’ve never done such a thing, and then taking them back to prison. That’s insane. It’s all insane.

        Yeah, I mean the forced / coerced prison labour is shit enough as it is, but making that labour actively life-threatening is horrific
