A Sister-in-law works in a Nebraska State Correctional facility. They now have TVs in their cells. The State pays for sex changes in prison. Sister in law works in the office. She requested paper clips and ink pens and was denied. Most prisoners do not want released as life in prison is good and they cant function outside of the joint. We are in trubble folks.

Here the Amish guys that get arrested want to stay in jail because they don't have to do any work on the farm.

Bring back the chain gang
Roads need fixin, underbrush needs cleared and many other things that need done

And beaverpeeler needs berry pickers

Free food, healthcare , heat and ac, gym membership, collage, TV and all the sex you can handle weather you want it or not.

Or better yet, make prisoners donate blood as there is a critical need for blood. Especially O negative as it is universal to anyone in need.

Way to many diseased scumbags in the joint for that. I'm sure there's a program just for that anyway. Donate and get a nice surprise!
Personally, I like he chain gang idea! Just got a flash back to that movie, "Oh Brother Wherefore Art Thou' LOL
