    They provided bags and sand but residents had to bring shovels and fill their own bags.

    I guess you read the first paragraph and skipped the rest?

    In a Facebook post, the Lake County Sheriff’s Office said inmates are “assisting residents that are not capable of filling their own sandbags.”

    There is zero chance all of the inmates volunteered to do this. They were coerced or forced to participate.

      I’m not sure what you mean. The article clearly says that residents brought shovels and inmates helped those who needed it. When i worked with inmates they all wanted the golf course jobs because they got to be outside interacting with people.
