40 states currently have ‘pay to stay’ programs, but, my understanding is that they’re the minority of prisons even in those states, and generally the ones on the softer side of the spectrum. still very fucked up.
I need to detach from this convo as I’m getting kind of infuriated without being able to do much about it. I live up in Washington state now, but used to be a Cali boy and shit like this gives you such whiplash if you believe the news about how blue California is. 😂
good luck man. And same! Used to live in Folsom. Now I live in Seattle. Not that rancho cordova didn’t have it’s charms, eh… but I’m a happier person here.
Costa Mesa up to Seattle myself, love how green it is. But noticing how much Spokane vs Seattle politics is at play as I get used to this plane I just moved to… same shit, different place haha

I don’t think it’s free… A lot of states apparently charge a per-day fee that you’ve gotta repay on release.
E: this is (of course) in the US

Stated another way, jail subscription.
in some states (ca is referenced in the link) they can pay more to have softer conditions and even furloughs.

No idea. Never been, and not planning on it either, but I guess nobody really does.
They make sure to saddle those pesky prisoners with a healthy amount of debt to make sure they come back soon.
This is by no means a universal or even common thing
