It's nice that they trust their "trusty" supplemental labor, but I believe it's "trustee", isn't it? And I think I'll tell my wife about that menu. Let's see,$1.75 a day, times two kids, times 7 days, hmmm click click click,$24.50 a week. "New food budget dear". That should go over big, heh?

$1.75 a day? Can't we cut that down to $1.25?

The prisoners should be made to reimburse the money once they are set lose.

Also for:
room & board
medical /psychiatric services
and anything else that a person outside of jail has to pay for.

But liberal extremists want to pamper these critters and criteresses.

police are nothing but hire hit men, and the governemtn is a murder and its god is satan love does no harm. but you guys rape and beat and compet for no good reason.
i pray that jesus comes back and you all see him. he is the role person for anyone
in your courtroom jesus answered and then he was silent
and you government showed your true god power to kill.
you called jesus crazy.
it dont matter
in his court your going to go to hell forever
crule people cant live in heaven or on earth
when his kingdom comes no one will pay for life like you people make people pay.
your system is going to be exposed.
so the torture you do on earth to us
it will be yours forever in hell.
you stole the land from the tribes. and you keep teaching us to live like you do in fear of our lives.

if anything i would ask that you ask jesus to take me back to the car accident and let me die on the pavenemt so i was not tortured by you guys. i would beg you all to talk to god for me about the car accident and tell him please let her die... god you threw her threw the windshiled, she hit pavement let that person die there so her children dont suffer. if for any other reason dont let children suffer our hate for life. we hate her god. we hate claire. we hate her. let her die on the pavement. her brother is dead. she is alone. and we want to kill her.
keep thinning the herd

did we ask them to go to jail?
no they freely did something that they knew was ILLEGAL and could possilby land them behind bars.
they made the choice, let them pay for it by being locked up, and suffereing the consequences of incarceration that they chose

simplicityair...*groan*- too much babble to read.

They did the crime - they should do the time - I'm sick of supporting criminals - in jail, and out of jail.

I think we should revert back to an eye for an eye.
