Prisoners should work off the expense we face in incarcerating them. It doesn't make sense, to me, to run up a bill incarcerating prisoners when one of the skills you want them to develop is work. If work is one of the characteristics you want them to engender in them, let them work for their keep. Whenever possible, let the work produce enough money to pay their way.
It makes sense to me to do this, and I don't understand why we don't.
