thought: why not use, less power, by improving standards of things.

Then you don't have to give GE a $700bil free nuclear reactors in everyone's back yard payday and can in fact stop using coal

“We want a real-world environment for the prisoners because in the real world you and I would be required to have a copay,” Mark Myers, spokesman for the Oklahoma Department of Corrections, told the news site the Frontier. Prisoners in Oklahoma earn 5 cents per hour at the bottom of the wage scale, so the state’s $4 co-pay is roughly equivalent to $580 for a minimum wage worker on the outside, the Frontier reported.

Most states charge a fee for each visit, with a $3.47 national average, according to the Prison Policy Initiative's 2017 analysis. At $8 per visit, Nevada’s prison co-pay is the highest in the nation. “Charging a co-pay encourages the inmates to develop personal responsibility for their health care, it helps manage the volume of unnecessary doctor appointments in the clinics and assists with a small portion of the medical costs,” said Brooke Santina, spokeswoman for the Nevada Department of Corrections.

Texas charges inmates $100 per year—which officials are looking to double in the face of rising health care costs. Co-pay programs generally have carve-outs for inmates who can’t afford to pay and exceptions for chronic and communicable conditions—though some inmates have reported these exceptions being ignored or applied unevenly.

Despite their toll on inmates’ individual finances, the fees don’t add up to much on prisons’ balance sheets. In Illinois, the $5 co-pay brings in about $400,000 per year—not enough to recoup the administrative costs of running the program, according to Department of Corrections spokeswoman Lindsey Hess.
