Our prison system absolutely has some major flaws, but fire camp is what you said, tolerable conditions, the ability to learn job skills and work outside, and learn a skill. You can't guarantee safety from violence among violent people unless they are isolated, and that's a worse punishment than anything. What I'm saying is that your criticisms of the general prison system aren't applicable to fire camp, because it offers the things you mentioned.
you're missing the point: the slaves who embrace their slavery are treated better than the slaves who resist; like slaves are supposed to do.
