That's some fucked up slave labor shit....

Indeed, but it's better than sitting rotting in a cell. I wonder if their sentences are reduced for that work?

Actually, since prisoners have to work, most of them seem to prefer working in the prison rather than fight fires.

I don’t know anyone called ‘Edgar’. I don’t think I’ve even met anyone called ‘Edgar’.

My grandfather and an uncle were/are both named Edgar.  With the accent of most of the locals it sounded much more like "Egger".  Grandpa was often referred to as Cap'n Egger and my uncle is commonly known as Little Egger. (family still calls him Little Egger - he'll be 70 in January.)

Why don’t we refer to young people as ‘junior citizens’?

Not specific enough. I know people in their 70s who haven’t completed that training.

Then those people would be ‘untrained adults’ (if you quit training, you’re no longer IN training).
