Reply to comment by CTNotPC in CT is paying criminals $500/mo by Justinontheinternet

Ok, what do they need to better reintegrate into society? A home, a shower, a job... But wait, they'd just spend the money from the job on drugs, so we can't do that... And limiting employers ability to ask about criminal history would be soft on crime, and homes with showers would be a handout... I guess it's an impossible problem

The only solution is a for profit private prison system with a monetary incentive to maximize recidivism, it's the only way.

Also anyone that ever does a drug has to go there too

Alright. Give them free money. Make it a $1,000 a month. Inflation adjusted income. That will solve their problems

I'm sorry, I shouldn't be so snarky because people won't take it seriously, but literally, we pay the justice system per criminal from police on down to prisons, and the system knows this, and makes sure they have as many repeat customers as possible.
