Incarcerated firefighters below. They appear to have found some sleep on a back road. What we can see is they’re exhausted physically. What we cannot see is they’re depleted mentally. And what we ignore to see is they’re fatigued systemically. We are a cruel nation.

“I actually learned the law from people whom people society calls outcasts...A person shouldn’t simply be judged upon their actions but they actually do have things they can contribute to society.” @MrDevonSimmons #LegalEmpowerment #JLI
