30 Of The Scariest Cities People Have Stepped Foot In

I camped there for a week in March of 191 or 1992 for a one credit geology lab course. It was a great experience. Hot but not scorching maybe 100 at peak. Wildflowers were in bloom.

I just sold my mothers jazzy 1970s ring and asked the to snip out my grandmothers diamond, which had been added by my mom. They did, but told me it isn't worth much. I said it is to me.

Sum it up . They should be paid a comparable wage, even though they are low risk inmates. However they do not have the level of training that Cal Fire does. The assistance the inmate crews provide is invaluable. It is voluntary, and credits are earned. Yes. Earned. What is wrong about a convicted person risking their life to save others?

I saw a conversation about this program and they need to have a clean record while incarcerated, and they get credits towards early release. The inmates said they liked it because they were treated like humans, which says a lot about prison conditions. Having been incarcerated myself for a minor offense (spit on a cop; six months) I completely understand why these guys are willing to do this hard work. As for wages, they should get paid more. It all goes into their jail fund, and they get it paid either for commissary or a check when they walk out of the door. I did so much to help my fellow inmates I had a darn cheering section when I walked the hallway for the last time. People who do the time are often resilient and want to do better, and that is what these crews are doing. It is really hard to come back and rebuild once you have made a mistake and ended up incarcerated. Took me a decade. I respect these guys who are risking their lives.

......they're convicted criminals. Currently serving time. They're grossly underpaid for all the jobs we can make prisoners do but especially in cases like this where they risk their lives for people who shun them.
