Description
Prison inmates can learn how to fight fires and thin forests at 43 fire camps around California. But once they're out, their criminal records prevent them from joining fire departments. Heather Knight talks to two formerly incarcerated people who believe this Catch-22 needs to change as climate change makes California's wildfires more fierce every year. | Unlimited Chronicle access: sfchronicle.com/pod
