I like the idea for working off the money WE spend to keep people in jail. If your in there for 10 years, and it costs $10 a day to keep them there thats $36,500 we spend to let you sit on ass in a cell. and $10 a day is not the right figure… I bet its 100+, with the facility, overhead… never the less call it 37K. make them do hard labor, farming, iron working, asbestos removal, shit that people dont want to do, and do it for half of what min wage is. the “money” they would make gets paid back to the state or what ever houses these criminals.
since they really arnt getting paid to do it, the jails arnt spending any more money than they already are, but the flip side it the bussinesses that use the “free labor” profit from it, and that might help the economy get better, becasue the overhead costs for the bussiness lessened so the prices should then come down on the product. See where I am going with this.
I should call the judge and DA and tell them every day he sits in jail, he shoudl have to come to my garage and wash and wax my car, till he gets out! lol
At the correctional facility i worked at over the summer, the ni9s had theyre own flower bed that they meticulously took care of. Well one day the grass was wet and i slid into it in the work truck, few days later we were dumping dust from the demo saw on them :rofl just figured id share that.
