Then why are taxpayers still being charged for the basics? It just doesn't make sense! And, it would be wonderful to have town, city, county and state prisoners on this same program!!!

ETA: I'm particularly disgusted when I hear people use the phrase "3 hots and a cot" or something to that effect. Some people really don't care. BTW, what connotation does "inmate" have for you?
