I know it's not much, but why should they keep all of their wages if they work within prison or on work release.  We shouldn't have to foot 100%.  As it stands now, we as tax payers keep the jails there, but t                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Stacy I totally agree with you Stacy!  The thing is a lot of people don't care if they are put in jail - "it's only time" they say. My guessing is, is that it would hurt them a lot more if they had to pay for their own stay.  The thing is if they knew there was a financial fine on top of prison stays, would they be as keen to offent?   Love Smurf xxx
