Making Prisoners Pay — Literally

Uma ideia absolutamente genial! E tão simples... Podiam aplicar isto cá com uma alteração: os condenados com rendimentos acima de determinada fasquia pagariam a sua "estadia" mais a de outro recluso, como coima acessória, ou seja, em dobro.
Com a quantidade de ricos criminosos que temos as instituições prisionais equilibrariam o orçamento, permitindo-lhes fazer obras, melhorando assim algumas condições.

"Bernie Madoff's crimes spawned a global financial meltdown, a wave of populist outrage, books, movies, souvenirs and, now — perhaps — an overhaul of New York's prison system. On July 20, Republican Assemblyman James Tedisco introduced a so-called Madoff bill in New York's legislature that, if passed, would require wealthy inmates to be billed for the cost of their prison stays — estimated at $90 per inmate per day. TIME spoke with Tedisco about the legislation's nickname, the "party palace" in a Manhattan jail that helped spark the legislation and why lawmakers might want to let prisoners keep their TVs."
