[citation][nom]webbwbb[/nom]Is it $50,000 each or total? Also, why force the punishment of one person onto the local taxpayers by making the government pay for it? Shouldn't the one responsible for this be the one to pay for it? She will be forced to sell off assets to pay it (house, car, etc)....[/citation]
This is a pretty good idea... inmates should have to pay for their stay while incarcerated. Why should they get a free stay for 20 years when i pay for them and my mortgage?
Federal penitentiaries should have some systems setup where convicts make minimum wage building things in jail the free public can use… like chairs, tables, cabinets…anything that is possible. (Of course weapons and death be a problem, but win/win for us). Make then earn their stay and be a use to the rest of society AND should they ever get out they have a skill other then car theft and murder!
