I don't know. I feel it's more of an easy fix. Even spending your whole life in jail is worse than that.

 

[Wallaby Dan]

Yeah, but it costs us folks so much less if we just put them down.

 

[AMD_man]

How come? You could just make inmates work for free.

 

[Wallaby Dan]

They have tried that and it requires more guards. That means it cancels out the benefits.

 

[AMD_man]

Why is it more guards? If some prisoners leave the prison, some guards leave with them.

 

[Wallaby Dan]

Those guards wouldn't be needed if the prisoners didn' t leave the prison.

 

[AMD_man]

They are leaving it to work. They just leave with them. Too keep an eye on them as they work. That's what I mean.

 

[Wallaby Dan]

But those extra men wouldn't be needed so less payout, no exrra benifets sould be needed.depending on how many are allowed out at a time you need 2 for one prisoner and could be up to 20+ for a larger group say 30+ inmates. Thats a lot of extra manpower needed for them to add to already strapped funding. And, what are they supposed to work on?

 

[AMD_man]

Repairing streets, picking up trash, build stuff, I don't know.

It's not like the death penalty takes thousands of prisoners... Maybe 10, 20 a year? An average of 2 per state?

How much poorer are the states that don't kill serial killers or rapists? How different are the taxes there?

 

[Wallaby Dan]

Quite a bit. Taxes are the biggest issues here.that and more and more issues with manuel labor for prisoners. There are a lot of different groups out there that don't believe in cruel punishment. There was a sheriff over in Arizona that had a tent jail. They only got a couple of bloninga sandwiches a day with water and nothing to cool them down. Crime went down on its own. 6 guards no tv or a/c not even electric in the tent camp itself. He had lower crime and lowest costs for a prison in the country. He had that for years, but the activists put him out of office and shut down that prison.
