Heck it keeps 50-60 convicts out of trouble while doing time.

The IWC program is comprised of approximately four to six crews of 10 to 12 inmates each from the Central New Mexico Correctional Facility in Los Lunas. Each crew member is trained in forest health, bosque restoration, conservation, and wildland firefighting. Each year, they work side-by-side with professional firefighters on numerous wildland fires in New Mexico and in other states as needed.
Since its inception, hundreds of Level 1 prison inmates have gone through the program. The low-risk inmates are those convicted of nonviolent crimes and are not sex offenders. They must also have clean jail records to participate in the program.
Many former inmates have gone on to work as wildland firefighters for the Forestry Division after serving their time. Others are working for Forestry cooperators, including federal agencies in New Mexico.

In California, they use inmates a lot. It was one of the reasons fire season 2020-2021 was so bad. The jails wouldn't let them out to go work a line.

Per the Crabb Prairie VFD, as of 1:45 the fire has NOT in-fact jumped the Trinity. So thank God for that!

I saw this floating around. If true I hope they can get these crew members some nourishment.
