Here the honest bottom line from my perspective. I don't want to pay $120,000 a year for someone to be locked up for multiple years for non-violent property theft in which all the property was returned and the owners were reimbursed for losses. I doubt many on here do either.
The bigger issue I have with the system, is that it costs $120,00/year to keep someone incarcerated. I could probably do it for about half of that. Private jail, wonder if the government would go for it....
