I’m typically a ”tough on crime“ person, but this is absurd. Charging people for a resource that they didn’t use, which is intended to be reusable seems like pure exploitation. If they want a 30 or even 90 day early release fee, to cover having to refill the cell — I don’t like it, but I’d get it. But charging someone for 7 years?!?
- consp 2y ago> If they want a 30 or even 90 day early release fee Why? They are not using it and have no choice in the matter. It's like having to pay rent until the next renter arrives, which you have no control over.
- kenjackson 2y agoIt's like taking out a 10 year lease, but leaving early. If you leave early, I think it's fair that you're on the hook until a new renter can come in -- or at least some reasonable amount of time to give the facility to find a new renter.
- croes 2y ago>Florida can also impose a new bill on the next occupant of that bed, potentially allowing the state to double, triple, or quadruple charge for the same bed. More like paying while next renter is already paying and the renter after him and the renter after him. Just jail everybody to 10 years release them after a week and get the money the next 10 years. Everywhere else this would be called a scam and exploitation.
