The price rise hit prisoners seeking bottled water as temperatures eclipse the 100 degree mark in unairconditioned facilities. The state vendor asked to raise the price and two state agencies signed off.
So how can we continue to pretend we have rights when these “rights” can be taken away from us at any time, on the whim of an evil police officer or judge or DA, and we are turned into chattel slaves when they do? We don’t seriously have rights if we actually can be legally turned into chattel slaves at any time for any reason.
It’s better than you and me paying for them, as taxpayers. If they’re in prison, the least they can do is work some kind of job to repay their debt to society, especially if they’re in prison for violent crimes.
You mistake my point, these people lately aren’t the toughened criminals that it effects. It’s people actually trying to change and stay out of jail/prison who catch lifelong debt and a reduced ability to repay that debt thus incentivizing returning to crime.
It’s a stupid fucking idea and their stay there is repaying the debt to society if you want them to make the state money then fucking garnish. People who endorse the prison system either haven’t looked into it or just aren’t willing to see reality.
You weren’t aware in some states it’s legal to charge the prisoner for their stay? No, that’s not a joke.
They aren’t really prisoners, they’re slaves really.
They’re slaves literally, the 13th amendment quite literally bans slavery except in the case of “lawful” confinement.

And dumb poor people that’ll protect them.
Yeah less state intervention is what we need

What are they going to do if they don’t pay? Evict them?
It’s when they get out and states legit wonder why they see the same people over and over.
