Sounds like what we really need to do is outsource the prisons. To, say, Mexico, or China. I'll bet the Chinese don't pay $50,000 per prisoner per year to keep their prisoners locked up -- heck, they probably harness their labour to turn a profit.

- tomjen2 17y agoI have wondered for years why it costs money to have inmates. Slaves in the old south would cost about as much as a good new car (40k according to free the slaves) so you would think there would be some value in inmates. I compare them to slaves because they have about the same motivation for doing work.
