If a person breaks the laws of the land, laws with the foundation of voters who elected them politicans to office, who creates laws for the mainstream and everyone else living "in the area" then why should they get Room & Board these prisones who broke the law(s) as they should be charged these expenses and payed a wage equal to the same pay scale for same work done "in their area, or closest to" and from this wage, after paying local/state/federal taxes before they receive whats left to be deducted Room & Board and payment required to undo their crime(s) and if they choose not to work or do not make enough money to cover all such then they will be required to pay back all such expensives including damages via their crime, with that money they make after jail or prison release, and if they refuse to, as in being a criminal or homeless person, then they should be treated the same as one who refuses to pay off their debts, with bankruptcy laws not appling here. so simple if you substract or hurt society, pay the price especially if you break those laws mainstream folks sow seeds for when elect politicians these mainstream folks focused on the following stuff - watch for hours a white bronko driven by OJ - a Monika & Bill ClinSin being Most Important Days Event - Congressman & what-ever-is-her-name young girl w/ married man - needing more credit limit on credit cards to pay off current balance - sons & daughters punching holes in nose and tongue because its cool - doing cool because other did it and say its cool - coll being whatever most people you age do yes, lets have mainstream - you make your bed, sleep in it - chicken comes home to roost (means i have not a clue) - reap what they sow - yes, but not here a.k.a. everyone says that, soooooo... ak
