加利福尼亚州和不列颠哥伦比亚省将囚犯劳动用于野火管理,引起对剥削的担忧。 California and British Columbia use inmate labor for wildfire management, raising concerns about exploitation. 批评者认为计划与“现代奴役”相似, 原因是工作条件差、低工资、缺乏劳动权利, Critics argue the programs are akin to "modern-day slavery" due to poor working conditions, low wages, and lack of labor rights. 在加利福尼亚州,囚犯每天的收入高达29.80美元,远远低于没有被囚禁的消防员。 In California, inmates earn up to $29.80 daily, far less than non-incarcerated firefighters. 虽然方案声称援助康复,但批评者却说,这些方案优先考虑雇主的需要,质疑使用囚犯应对灾害的道德。 While the programs claim to aid rehabilitation, critics say they prioritize employer needs, questioning the ethics of using prisoners for disaster response.
