As usual there's a big discussion about getting the railings repainted at the Riverwalk. We have inmate crews out cleaning ditches and rights of way. Just asking, but couldn't those inmate gangs repair and repaint those things? Offer them an incentive like time off, etc to do a good job. It would save money plus giving the inmates some practical job skills.
At least consider the options. Paint properly applied looks good no matter who applies it.

Maybe because its not always cost effective? After all you have to factor in the cost of the guards needed to guard them as well as transportation, supplies (including safety gear), training and meals and all of that isnt cheap or in other words there is no such thing as a free lunch and someone always has to pay somewhere.
