California wildfires

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

California prisoner firefighters program put into force. Ethics arguments abound now.

If this was done 'involuntary' as some are arguing then it does become an ethical argument. Was it 'involuntary'?

It seems to me they wanted to be a part of this program and now will get valuable experience for a good job when they get out.
