This is actually a Life Pro Tip, because money usually isn’t too much of a problem when you’re in jail. Except in the US, where you can end up in debt again for not paying the incarceration fees accrued for being in jail.
I’m sorry what the fuck? Incarceration fees? I knew the private prison system is a cancer on society that uses prisoners as a form of legal slavery but I had no idea they charged the prisoners for it.
From howtojustice.org:
Do prisoners have to pay for jail USA? In the United States, incarcerated people almost always have to pay for their incarceration. Even once you finish your time behind bars, finish your time on supervised release and pay all of your court costs and fines, you can still be on the hook for thousands of dollars.
That’s ridiculous, holy shit
This has nothing to do with private prisons
