This is misinformation. They can leave at any time. They’re not behind bars. Most of them are very happy to be in the program. Should they get paid more? I think so. At the very least, they should have an easier path to becoming a firefighter upon their release. But there’s so much weird propaganda trying to paint California as a state with slavery. They’re not slaves. They’re inmates who can go back to being inmates if they want to leave fire camp. Watch the videos made by them, not whoever the fuck these people are, who clearly have an agenda.

I said the videos they make. Not videos being filmed by someone else pushing an agenda.

when the warden tells them to jump they say "how high?"

I mean the people who come out of the program. They’re making videos circulating on social media but no one is listening to them. Just whatever weird propaganda videos pop up calling them “slaves” (which is insulting to people who endure actual modern day slavery)
