My wife was a journalist in SoCal a while back. She did a story on some women prisoners that were used to assist in firefighting.
They worked alongside Cal Fire. It was rough work, they were right there in the shit.
She can't recall if they were paid anything extra but she does remember that they ALL volunteered for it. They actually loved it.
I assume after being locked up long enough, people will agree to anything to go outside for a little while, and vary their routine.
