Not only that, but: in recent times CA lawyers have argued, in court, that allowing certain inmates to be paroled early would deplete the inmate firefighting program!
Partly because, once the inmate prisoners are out of jail, they are
prohibited from having firefighting jobs, due to their criminal records.
