I'm going to jail
I just saw on my local news that Arkansas is the lowest amount spent on care of inmates. An inmate lives better than most of us. Arkansas spends $34,000.00 per year housing on each inmate. I am to old to join the military, so jail might be a nice option over being homeless.

Why don't you just tell the judge to give you the cash and you won't do the crime? (I mean hell, lot's of folks live on a lot less than thirty four grand!!) He will be happy that jail has proved to be a deterrent!

Send them to Arizona. Baloney sandwiches, living in tents with no AC. Now THAT's my kind of jail and wish they were all like that, after all, they are supposed to be punished for their crimes, not treated like royality.

I think I would choose homeless.
Maybe Hoosierbaby would feel sorry for you sleeping under the bridge at night and take you in.

You got that right. Actually, I hate the stuff, and if I didn't need it to survive I wouldn't own a dime of it.

I think that I would get to Austria (Next door to Switzerland) before going to prison. Preferably Garniola Prison. The Glory of Carniola

I have spent some time in jails, and I'll tell you there is a HUGE differance between jails. My local county jail SUCKS, and I would do alot to avoid that place. But if I was homeless and hungry I would absolutely commit a misdemeanor in one of the local wealthy towns. That town has a great jail, good food, clean, nice beds and showers, lots to do, vending machines, cable on decent TVs with control of the remote, good workout and sports areas with good *****, ping pong just outside your cell in a kind of recroom area. Just a great place to get yourself healthy and clean again, like camp. I've seen how many of the homeless live around here and this jail is a lot better.

They aren't giving the inmates that money, are they? Do you think anyone in prison in Arkansas right now would hesitate one second to trade places with you?
Of that $34,000, only a small part will be spent on a prisoner's food, clothing, or medication. The majority of it is spent to pay guards, staff, and bureaucracy, to purchase and pay for cars, buses, vans, computers, kitchen equipment, etc.

I realize what you are saying. The news said that Arkansas was the lowest state spending 34,000 per inmate, per year. Other states are spending more.
I have an old friend who has been to jail for misdemeanors several times. He said the best jail he has ever been in is Livingston parish. They eat crawfish ettouffe, po boys,jambalaya, etc.(all made fresh from local sources) They take them to jobsites in the mornings or to the courthouse to do construction or maintenance while being paid for there services.(3.00 per hour) He told me he lived better in jail than he does outside the jail.
