The average cost of incarceration costs thirty to forty thousand dollars for each prisoner just to keep them locked up. This is a major drain on our economy, what would happen if we made guilty prisoners pay back the money for their incarceration. We would have a lot more money for education and helping feed children. Which would help to reduce the rate of desperate people making desperate decisions. People might learn to think twice before committing a crime if jail time wasn't free.
