So instead of admitting your thread is ridiculous, you have decided to double down on the stupid. So be it. Don't whine when you are ridiculed continuously until the inevitable thread closing. You are demanding it.

I guess everybody has missed the entire point of this thread. WE are now paying for everyone inmates included. The state used to pay for it now the fed (taxpayers across the land) do. I guess that is a good thing to some. Not me.

And Van you think taxpayer dollars from the entire country will do better than the state bucks to rehab folks? LOL. You are insane. But hey it aint your money in your eyes so spend away right. You don't realize you are being bilked too. We all are every day of the week by these tyrants. Why you folks defend the government stealing your money I will never understand.

Because the state and county used to consider healthcare costs in their prison costs and thus reduce the number of individuals in prison for stupid crap.

If someone elses is paying the costs, the concern over whats spent no longer is there.

Doubtful considering the county and states contracted their prison insurance out to the private industry, who then paid off the UCR/ICD9 schedules.

The reason this was contracted out in the first place was to save money.

Your post is about as deep as Kim Kardashian.
What difference does it make if you pay for inmate care out of your right pocket or left pocket?

That may be a good point.

Feds get involved it will be X amount per inmate.............just like X amount per student. So it will be prudent for the states to incarcerate as many as possible to get X amount of dollars. Sad times.

If it was that simple I would agree, but once again, if the county/state has no obligation to take care of those who they inprison, whats to limit them from just imprisoning individuals for stupid crap?

Its like making your township pay to landscape your house.

If you are paying for it, you want a yard thats manageable. If the towship is paying, then you dont give a rats ass over the size, and the features you install in your yard..
