The states plan to transfer thousands of inmates


The state’s plan to transfer thousands of inmates to county custody could lead prison officials to place even more violent prisoners in California’s 41 minimum-security fire camps, a firefighter’s union leader says.

Bob Wolf, president of CDF Firefighters Local 2881, said that might put fire captains who supervise the inmates on the fire lines — and the public — in jeopardy.watchesstores by sevenwatch88.

“Our captains don’t carry guns. They don’t carry handcuffs with chains. There’s no guards on the fire line with them,” Wolf said. “Even though they have them (the inmates) in their custody, what power do they have over someone who wants to leave?”

Wolf represents the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection captains who supervise the 4,000-plus inmates who work on California’s fires and on work projects. Though California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation guards watch the inmates when they’re at their basecamps for the night, fire captains accompany the crews of 14 to 16 men during the day, whether they’re cutting fire lines or cleaning brush and garbage from the side of roads.

This spring a Record Searchlight investigation found that one in five inmates at the state’s fire camps has a violent criminal history, directly contradicting state prison officials who repeatedly denied putting inmates with violent pasts in the minimum-security camps.

State lawmakers are planning on holding hearings later this month in Sacramento in response to the newspaper’s findings. The lawmakers plan to discuss how to keep the camps safely staffed with suitable inmates, given state prison officials have been ordered to transfer thousands of the least-dangerous prisoners back to the custody of the state’s 58 counties.Mint condition high grade brandwatches,authentichublotwatchessales offer a wide selection of Replica Watches of all popular Replica Watches brands including Replica Bell & Ross Watches,

Wolf said he’s worried the shortage in the inmate labor pool could cause state prison officials to reach deeper into the prison system, transferring even more inmates with violent convictions to the camps.cartierwatchessalesonline has not done anything recently.
