Jail for Rent
 
Here is a link to an article in the NY Times where it is reported that the correction system makes available to inmates who are willing to pay a better class of facility.
I find this outrageous and contrary to what our system of justice stands for.

Or, for a bit more you can get the OJ Simpson package.

"Club Fed"---minimum security federal prisons for non-violent and mostly white collar offenders, has existed for years. There was one on an Air Force base in Alabama that even had a golf course.

In almost every prison system in the US, inmates are segregated according to their level of offense. There are hundreds of minimum security prisons that have cells that look just like that one, without the necessity of inmates having to cough up "rent". What's the point of making the guy doing 30 days for OUI serve his time next door to a killer or a rapist? Jail is still jail, no matter how you slice it. Work release is also common for non-violent inmates.

W ehere in the NE need to get some corrections training form Sherrif Joe. No one goes back to his tent city with no TV for a second offense... AND he manages to feed his inmates fo rless than a buck a day.....http://www.mcso.org/

there are two levels of incaration. one is for the 90% of the people. the other 10% have a bunch of money, and catch up on their golf and tennis.

That's the way it used to be in England. You had to pay the jailers for better conditions.
