As a follow-up to something we talked about before, Arizona have followed-suit with California and deployed teams of inmates trained in fighting wildfires to assist with the Bush and Bighorn fires. Currently 113 inmates are combating the blaze alongside their professional counterparts. Nicely done, AZ, a sensible and useful skill being put to use in a rehabilitative way. That's how it should work.
