This is really important, we know that wildfire smoke can affect the health of people a long distance away from the source. For example, in Southern California, child hospitalisation rose by 30% due to wildfire smoke compared to none.

Between the risk of death and the lifelong health implications of wildfire smoke exposure (lungs don’t fully mature until your 20s)—for incarcerated teenagers to be placed into this kind of occupational hazard exposure is unethical. “Voluntary” or not.
These teenagers and young men — 95% of whom are Black, Latinx, or Filipino — earn between $2.20 and $4 per hour, plus an additional $1 an hour when they’re actively fighting fires, according to the DJJ. ⤵️
