Actor Danny Trejo rebuked Kim Kardashian's focus on the low wages of incarcerated firefighters battling the LA wildfires, arguing that it's insensitive during a time of crisis. Kardashian, however, highlighted the firefighters' meager pay and called for a raise, sparking a debate about inmate labor and compensation.
Kim Kardashian faced criticism from actor Danny Trejo for her activism concerning incarcerated firefighters battling the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles. During an interview with TMZ, Trejo, who has personal experience with the prison system, expressed that Kardashian's focus on the firefighters' low wages was inappropriate during a time of such tragedy.
He urged her to prioritize the needs of those who have lost everything in the fires, stating that they have 'nothing but the clothes on their back.' Trejo argued that discussing inmate compensation was not a pressing concern at the moment, suggesting that the priority should be on firefighting efforts and assisting victims.Kardashian, who has been vocal about the plight of incarcerated firefighters, pointed out their meager hourly wages ranging from $5.80 to $10.24, with an additional $1 per hour during emergencies. She highlighted a proposal to increase the emergency bonus to $5 per hour, which had been rejected. She also emphasized the dangerous nature of their work and the lack of wage adjustments for inflation since 1984.Trejo acknowledged the importance of the job for inmates, stating that it offers valuable experience and potential time reductions on their sentences. He, however, dismissed calls for increased pay, arguing that most of their earnings would be allocated towards restitution payments. He also suggested that the value of the firefighting experience for inmates extended beyond monetary compensation. The debate sparked by Kardashian's activism brings to light the complex issues surrounding inmate labor, compensation, and the ethical considerations involved in utilizing incarcerated individuals for dangerous tasks
