I already thought this was bad when they were ~~asked~~ made to work fast food jobs. ~~Asking~~ Making them to risk bodily harm is an entirely different idea. I think I want my first responders to feel fairly compensated when I call for help.

Isn't there an amendment about this? We had that whole interval railway war over capitalism under the guise of fighting for that amendment?
The 13th amendment
Any billionaire is free to step in and properly compensate these heroes, but they won’t
I don't think we have chain gang type prison programs in Canada. It's so archaic. Making license plates to have an occupation might be reasonable, but this chain gang shit is inhumane.
Wasn't this the thing as well where once they are released they cannot legally work as firefighters
Also, many of them are ineligible to become actual firefighters after their release from prison due to their criminal record. I would be slightly more okay with this system if it translated into a guaranteed position as a firefighter following release if they agree to go to an area in need like in smaller communities that have trouble recruiting firefighters.
If someone lands on your property, you don't get paid if you are in prison. Though if the board is loaded up with hotels on orange and the other players aren't near your properties, you can stay in for a bit rolling doubles to avoid going broke.
