Tom Klimas, a fireman who has managed prison crews for the past seven years, watches over a team of female prisoners in a remote mountainous area of the Witch Fire past Santa Ysabel, California to build a protection line against spreading fire, October 25, 2007. Of about 9,000 firefighters battling the southern California flames, nearly 3,000 are inmates. The prisoners typically get two days off their sentence for each on the fire lines. About 300 are from all-women prisoner brigades. Picture taken October 25, 2007. REUTERS/Adam Tanner (UNITED STATES)
