Rent is free in jail...unfortunately
Well then you get jails that we pay for that are contractors.
Run by companies with boards of directors that have to make a profit, just like Spot.
Anyone wonder why we have more people in prison than any first world country?
It's not that we are a lawless wasteland, actually crime has been going down steadily since the 90s with a few bumps.
No, whats happened is the justice system has become dependent on making money.
In Ferguson the city made 20% of its income on extreme fines on it's poorest members.
In Pennsylvania there was a judge who ruined thousands of lives sending juveniles to jail on fake charges and getting kickbacks from the jail.

This is a major problem and this lady is a small part of it.
There might of been a time when she might have been put on house arrest, had to work cleaning up trash and been made to pay back the stolen money.
Win, win.
But now, she will be housed at our expense in a jail where some people will make money off her.
