When $0.20 ramen and basic hygiene products (kind of required for the sanity housing of anybody) are not provided, it kind of makes you wonder[1] where the several-hundred dollars per-day we spend to keep most people in jail[2] is actually ending up.
[1] rhetorical question; we know, more or less, where the money goes.
[2] prison is usually more expensive
- nodata 12y ago> we know, more or less, where the money goes. Show us? It's publically available information I guess, where can we read about it?
- pdkl95 12y agoThere's nothing fancy about where the money goes - it was paid to the police/jailers involved along with any contractors or other people on the receiving end of the "jail" budgets. The point is that running a jail should be easy on $250/day/person-in-jail (or more!). The cost of bulk toothbrushs or ramen is basically in the noise. It says a lot about the character and values of a person that would choose to pocket this kind of spare change just to make their income very slightly bigger.
