At least 2 states let prisons charge the families of dead ex-prisoners for
their food and health care
Nearly every state lets prisons and jails charge inmates for their own
incarceration — room, board, clothing, and doctor's visits — in a
phenomenon called "pay-to-stay."
We don't know exactly how many prisons and jails take advantage of "pay to
stay." The latest survey, done in 2005, found that 90 percent of jails
surveyed charged inmates fees of one kind of another. In an era of tight
budgets, the practice is probably even more widespread today.
Pay-to-stay piles on a second punishment to the sentence that's been handed
down by a judge. That creates lasting, detrimental effects on inmates and
their families — and society as a whole. It doubles the strain on inmates'
families: in addition to losing a household income, they have to pay to
support their incarcerated family member. And it makes it even harder for
inmates to get back on their own two feet financially after they're released
from prison.
It's estimated that about 10 million Americans owe about $50 billion in debt
because of fees and fines they've gotten through the criminal justice
system — and because of pay-to-stay, some of that debt comes from prisoners
having to pay for their own incarceration.
Almost every state practices pay-to-stay
Forty-three states allow inmates to get charged for "room and board" — the
cost of their own imprisonment. Thirty-five states charge inmates for at
least some medical expenses. Taken together, at least 49 states have a law
on the books that authorizes at least one of the two. (Hawaii, as well as DC
, doesn't have statutes that explicitly address pay-to-stay.)
In many of the statutes the Brennan Center analyzed, states only charge room
and board to inmates who are on work release or have a prison job, on the
logic that they're the only ones making money while in prison. (It seems
possible that some inmates might be dissuaded from taking prison jobs if
they know some of their wages are going to be garnished.) Others take the
money out of inmates' commissary accounts — which are usually filled by
family members on the outside — or bank accounts.
That's particularly worrisome when inmates are being charged for their own
medical care — especially when, as many states do, prisoners get charged a
fee for every doctor's visit they request. Most states set that fee pretty
low, around $5, but Texas charges a $100 annual fee for any inmate who asks
to see a doctor.
As the Brennan Center points out, some inmates are afraid to ask to see a
doctor if they know their families will get hit with a fee for it — which
increases the risk that an inmate won't get treated for a contagious disease
that will spread throughout the facility.
Three states allow at least some inmates to get charged for clothing.
Missouri allows clothing fees for prison and jail inmates; Louisiana allows
it for jail inmates; and Nevada allows inmates on work release to get
charged for the clothing they need for their jobs.
In Michigan, an inmate is charged $12 when he enters jail. But if he hasn't
paid the fee by the time he's released — for example, if he can't afford it
— he owes the state $100.

发钱只稳定一时，ghetto里造出了的小孩一代比一代更吊。
尼克松政府开始HUD给黑人造housing project，刚搬去老黑挺高兴改革的春天，10几年
后长大的小孩没怎么见识家长工作，啥都是政府check，养出一帮废物加罪犯。
