The fuck why can’t the US stop reinventing slavery
Apparently Biden has approved a payment to them of 770 dollars? Big whoop. Commute their sentences. The least you can do.
State jail means no federal commutation. Gavin (and CA legislature) would be the people to yell at.
I’m totally out of the loop here, what happened?
For the fires in Los Angeles, they sent prisoners to put them out, chain gang style.
Calfire inmate firefighters volunteer for placement in it. It’s bad enough as is but don’t make it something it isn’t.
What in the ever loving christ?!?!
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
What’s this have to to with work?
Very little. Anti work and work reform communities have turned into generalized working/not rich class communities.
Inb4 they make it so you have to add money in person for “reasons”
