 Prison by Huffington Post |
In one southern California county, prisoners will soon have to pay for the privilege of staying in jail. Riverside County, California will start charging prisoners $142.42 per day of their prison stay, CNNMoney reports. The county's board of supervisors approved the measure on Tuesday as a way to save an estimated $3 to $5 million per year. Not every prisoner will be forced to pay up, however. The county will review each prisoner's case individually to determine if they can afford the fee. (oh, sure. And prisons won't be in business to make a profit, either. How long until prisons have to be filled in order to MEET the budget, instead of breaking it?) |
