Fire camp is a program that most prisoners actually want to get into. They get to learn useful skills, the accommodations are better, and the prisoners there don't want to get removed from the program so they're unlikely to be violent. I have a friend who spent 3 years in that program and he greatly preferred it to the prison he transferred from.
Always a little disturbing to see these comments. Cause every single time they are made I see phrases like "most prisoners" just straight up acknowledging that it's not all. Hand waving that away. Creepy.
I don't presume to know the minds of every person. I do know that my friend was glad to get into the program, as was everyone else he told me about who was in it.
Then why do you need slavery?
Just let prisoners apply for jobs like sane countries
