California wildfires

Assuming it's always been voluntary, maybe they need a "voluntary" prisoner program to keep the underbrush clean. 

Some ethical arguments claim this program exploits inmates because it's not really a fair choice.

Hey, if they want to be in that program and clean up brush, why not?

Can they say, "no thanks, I don't feel like it today"?

I think I read there are 1,000 inmates helping with firefighting or rather brush fire maintenance for a total of around 5,300 firefighters now.
