For Lesser Crimes, Rethinking Life Behind Bars

[Field Marshall Bradley]

On average it costs a state $60 per inmate, per day. She's definitely not doing "free labor", she's offsetting costs and I think they should pay her a lot more. If they are going to have dumb ass rule that locks up any and everyone, KNOWING the costs, then they can at least have those with more minor offenses work or be educated.

She is most certainly doing free labor. The taxpayers fund her board and housing..Those contracts for labor are private money....

Where\who does the profit go too if the room\board\maintenance is paid for by the taxpayer

That's a great question... it's probably not the taxpayers seeing the profit most of the time. anybody know anything about this?
