Good.
Inmates should not be allowed to freeload off the government.
The government is already in the hole.
Why should we give them a free place to stay with free food??

Good idea but I really think someone else should process the payments as I do not trust Sheriff Joe to handle the money.

Also worried that more affluent prisoners will eventually be allowed to buy luxuries...Such as their own food and larger living spaces.

Makes perfect sense to me, Greatday!

Slammer Time should not be comparable to a FREE Spa Vacation. It should be as miserable and expensive as possible to eliminate any and all desires to return for a repeat and/or extended stay. Besides, wouldn't those goons be paying for their food on the outside?

As I have stated before . . . this country needs more Sheriff Joe's.

Lets see where are these inmates going to get money for this. Lets see the sheriff sends them a bill time for them to break into your house and steal your stuff to get money for this.
