“Pay to stay” for prison sentences?
This is absolutely horrific, and would be absolutely horrific even if it didn’t come with the kafkaesque orwellian absurdity of billing for time inmates never stay if the sentence is modified, like a prison sentence is a no-refund low price hotel reservation.
I cannot believe how barbaric the governance of the state in which I now live has become. Although most US states enslave and exploit prisoners and their families.
