AreWeDrunkYet posted:Wait, what? That's $80 a month, so are the prisoners just not paid (in which case why even bother pretending to give them a wage?), or do they rack up a debt of $320 a month? And would that debt carry over outside of prison, effectively loving over anyone released from prison? I see you're starting to catch on. Good luck even applying for a job once you're out to pay that back. Even McDonalds has a box that says "Have you been convicted of a felony?" Check the box and never get a job or lie and hope you're never caught. If you REALLY want to burst a blood vessel look into how much prisoners are charged for phone calls. Ya know, those people who spend years upon years isolated from contact with the outside? Well that means there's a demand so the glorious free market has decided that just offering phones to use will not do. No sir that poo poo has to be subcontracted out by the (for profit) prison to a third party that totally pinky swears they won't ever possibly price gouge the ever living gently caress out of people who have no choice in service providers, high desire to use it and are social punching bags to poo poo on and not care about. Fortunately the invisible hand of the free market comes to the rescue with such fantastic services as allowing the family to put money into an account for that inmate to use to call them. Note I did not say "allows them to pay for the phone calls" and said it goes into an account. Let your imagination run wild with every dirty, bullshit trick accounting firms use on credit and debit cards. Go on, you can do it.
