Fire Country question.

[Buzz Rules]

Fire Country question. If Riley had lived in the pilot episode and became a regular cast member, would the show be better than now? Also, should every US state have a 3 rock style program give prisoners a second chance?

For me, not necessarily. But if they had kept Gabriella on the show, I would have enjoyed it more.

I think a 3 Rock style program might benefit come prisoners.

20+ years ago I worked for the Forest Service in fire, and in California, there are multiple correctional facilities that have conservation crews that participate in search and rescue and wildland fire. It’s a good position to have. When I first trained in search and rescue, we trained at the prison with some of the inmates. I was 19 at the time, and this was my first experience working with that population. Our facilitators, who were inmates, were great and shielded myself and the other female my age from some of the rude individuals across the fence. These crews work hard, and I do think they should earn more than they do. The individuals that we trained with said that this was a desirable position to have.
