   @JessTheUnstill In theory (if not in actual practice) if you are incarcerated for murder, you are entitled to food, clothing, shelter, exercise, education, and health care. Because those are human rights and while you're in the custody of the state, it's our responsibility to provide those for you. Anything less would be cruel and unusual, and therefore unconstitutional. And yet, if you're a law-abiding citizen on the outside, you're on your own. It pisses me off.

     @WearsHats @JessTheUnstill there was an article I read earlier which says the state charges prisoners per night in prison - and can withhold degrees earned until the bills are paid. The headline had 1 released prisoner owing 127000 or so.
