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.
Not to mention other things like, is it actually true that most prisoners would want to get put in a life threatening situation?
And why are we not acknowledging that the US regime gives prisoners these “choices”: go outside and die for the state, work on our prison farms, get contracted out to private companies, or stare at a wall in a cell. Truly an evil empire that should not be apologized for.
It’s worse. If the basic prisonfood is insufficient, which is common. prisoners need to work to buy more nutritional meals. Or they can risk getting sick and dying, whichever.
Well how would you suggest we deal with people who harm other people? If you can’t put them in a cell, and you can’t make them work, and you can’t teach them to be wilderness firefighters and have them perform those duties, then what do you propose?
There aren’t many countries that employ slave labor like the US. You think they’re the rule but they’re the exception. Just because the US enslaves their prisoners doesn’t mean most other countries do too.
That’s avoiding the question and changing the subject though. I don’t disagree with you on this point. But many of them do deserve to be there, my friend included, so how do you propose they’re dealt with given the limitations you’ve placed on the system? What does your prison look like?
Edit: I just realized you’re not the person who I was replying to originally, so I apologize for saying “you said”.
You know nothing about me, let alone “my history”. That’s also what I suspected, you have no proposed solutions, only complaints. You can’t support your own argument, so instead you attacked me. I’m not pro-slavery, dufus, I’m acknowledging that fire camp is a good program for dealing with criminals, many of whom have hurt people and society, while also providing them with an opportunity to learn job skills, and work outside. For the record I’m opposed to the vast majority of the US prison system, especially the length of confinement.
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.
Did you ever ask your friend, if given the choice of having the same options to improve their conditions but without having to work, would they have still chosen fire camp?

That’s not an answer to the question at all, but okay.
Here’s your very obvious answer. Instead of enslaving people, we could not do that.
Most of them should never have been put in the carceral system in the first place.

Given your history, I have my doubts that your friend is real, and one doesn’t need a holistic crime reduction plan in order to be anti-slavery.

That’s good to hear.

Then why do you need slavery?
Just let prisoners apply for jobs like sane countries
Did you ever ask your friend, if given the choice of having the same options to improve their conditions but without having to work, would they have still chosen fire camp?
If you’re not presuming that then why did you say most prisoners instead of just the one single one you claim to know?
Do you lack reading comprehension?
“as was everyone else he told me about who was in it”
So you’re supposed friend told you about most of the prisoners in the program? What percentage precisely?
