Wildfires don't equal evacuation for Solano State Prison

Description (Dublin Core)

While California depends on prison labor for wildfire firefighters this Tweet brings attention the state refusing to evacuate prisons in threat of wildfire danger. Other Twitter posts have mentioned speaking to inmates at Solano and them mentioning guards coming in with ash on their uniforms. The fires are that close!
It seems that many people once incarcerated are at risk for a possible death sentence due to Covid and wildfires. What else?
