re: Criminals are expensive

I’d imagine that if a new prison was built or a major project was undertaken that amount would be included which would raise the price significantly.

I’ve always advocated that we pay criminals that are irredeemable (the lifers who can’t even act accordingly in prison) and pay them $5K to renounce their citizenship. Then we pay somebody like Somalia $15K per prisoner to take them. BAM! I just saved Louisiana $5K per prisoner the first year and another $25K annually.
