That should bring them from $0.02/hour for their labour up to about $0.25/hour, so I guess it's a step in the right direction. --- This is my signature. It exists to keep people from skipping the last line of my posts. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Sounds like a good idea. If you want people to reform you have to give them a reasonable chance of finding a stable life when they get out of prison. --- And with that...pow! I'm gone! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Gives them the opportunity to rent a shitty apartment and with first and last month's rent, plus they might have enough left over to get groceries and a bus pass. I'm sure there will be someone who spends it all on prostitutes and blow, but I would rather give the recently incarcerated the benefit of the doubt and hope they choose to try and re-enter society. --- Why didn't you DODGE‽‽‽ Quoting me will trigger the profanity filter, Not Joking.

Meanwhile the responsible tax payer gets squat The responsible taxpayer gets to live in a society where addiction is a public health issue and people who have paid their debt to society have a chance to re-enter and contribute to society. Though I hear Somalia is a great, apparently it's really nice in the three blocks that surround the government district in Mogadishu. --- Why didn't you DODGE‽‽‽ Quoting me will trigger the profanity filter, Not Joking.

I feel like a program like that should be based on circumstances, but long-time prisoners often need some kind of assistance to reestablish their lives. --- Woken LLC ... Copied to Clipboard!

It is very much not enough to solve the fundamental problem, but it's at least a step in the right direction. Now, instead of having no skills, no network, no supports of any kind, and only enough money for a month's groceries, they'll have no skills, no network, no supports of any kind, and enough money for a month's groceries and a month's rent! --- This is my signature.

I'd rather focus on making sure they got a home to go to and a job. But they do need help to keep from coming back. Wish we had more companies like Dave's killer bread that makes a point of hiring former inmates. They make pretty damn good bread too.
