In several states, there are exceptions that specifically allow inmate firefighters to get at least wildland fire jobs (which is what they're typically doing anyway, not structural).
You get better visitation, you are outside, I’d imagine that though dangerous, fighting fires is rewarding. Plus you earn a day of freedom for every day worked.
They ought to give them the training to become fire fighters when they get out though, and work to change laws preventing felons from firefighting work.
