I think a portion of the money they make while in jail should go towards it as well. I know it's not much, but why should they keep all of their wages if they work within prison or on work release.  We shouldn't have to foot 100%.  As it stands now, we as tax payers keep the jails there, but t

Subject: [QUAD-L] Inmates paying $$ for their time

My husband, Pete, told me he read about a proposal. Instead of tax payer footing the entire amount for Inmates, that the Inmates them selves should pay a percentage for their stay in jail. Either with money they have in the bank upon arrests or garnishing their wages after release.
  What do all of you think of this proposal?
     Just curious, Bobbie
