Inmate firefighters walk along Highway 120 during the Rim Fire near Yosemite National Park, Calif. in 2013. California currently has about 400 inmate firefighters battling the LA county wildfires.

California has turned to incarcerated firefighters since 1915. To those opposed to the use of inmates as firefighters, the system is seen as exploitative.
