Mike should not have committed the crime that got him there
Comment from : @Wayne-wu3nl

They should raise their pay, so that it can atleast cover most of their expenses inside It's good that they have to pay for their stay
Comment from : @Largo-y

You can avoid this by not being a criminal in the first place

Comment from : @claudiadubois3052

Amazing New York Times has the gall to constantly repeat it's their opinion when they don't have an opinion they have a mandate to print what they're paid to print all propaganda

This makes not wanna live in America anymore
Comment from : @krisgoodwin8189

If you make all your court apperances doesn't your bail go away? Also if Mike works in the kitchen, why is the food inedible? If we're assuming the best of him, isn't he a good cook?
Comment from : @LauraUllman-i5m

Maybe don’t commit crimes? 🤷

America is a business
Comment from : @waligorahim

Shocking, stupid, counter-productive, unfair, unethical and frankly criminal
Comment from : @kmrk4055

Debt keeps people in criminality America is a business
Comment from : @SA-ol3xi

not to mention that if you call someone in prison, there’s also a charge If you use your credit card, it will be charged as a cash advance
Comment from : @lft3636

Comment from : @Waterhead

Yeah Court Costs are a bunch of baloney
Comment from : @jaysurname5502

This is outrageous 😮
Comment from : @kristinarnors

The state should be forced, legislated, to hire these new releases from prison, say, at the DMV or such since THEY just finished “rehabilitating” them to work in society by giving that first leg up
Comment from : @theoriginalchefboyoboy6025

I wish you came out with solutions and actions taking place by your investigation to solve problems on universal level You tattle, shame and claim high ground But to the soulless, rich, untouched, and unopposed evil of these Oligarchs? Which are BOTH if not five sides of the same coin
Comment from : @GIWonderY15

So this video is suggesting that taxpayers should pay all these fees for someone's poor choices Uhhhh no
Comment from : @matthewmiller3047

One alternative though, become an orange president
Comment from : @jean-marcknight8816

time out is not a punishment
Comment from : @joeyhandles

Why should those of us that manage to stay out of jail foot the bills for inmates? Also, the vast majority of these braccumulated debts will never be paid Don’t know what the answer is but this makes it seem like it’s unfair to charge inmates I disagree
Comment from : @MH_Prof

First world on the surface only

Like a decade down the road you will have to pay a 18 tip when you get paroled
Comment from : @matchc0635

this video was well made
Comment from : @realfamimation

The American DNA is so authoritarian, even if it is a Democracy, it can not help itself but to resort to violence, legalized or not, by default The historical Violence Track Record proves it The archaic and religious based Obey and (heavy) Punishment mentality or psych is blocking a much needed Social Mind Progress like for Rehabilitation, Resocializing, Science Education, etc for a real Humane society
Comment from : @lissaf65

Our jailing and judicial system needs work But being poor is not the reason to commit crime I wish you would have also written up the stats on how much it cost the public to keep the prisoners in jail Part of being in prison is a punishment as well as rehab
Comment from : @sc-ez9fz

So for 25k I'll get food and shelter? For 5 years? Sign me up

Modern day slavery, welcome to America!!

System of a Down
Comment from : @Steadyops

It's a trap
Comment from : @Throughthelurkinglass

If you're in for 5 years for a good reason, a 20k fine is also fine by my book based off how you screwed up And yes those things that aren't technically fines in my book, are part of the necessary fines needed for who their due process to be followed correctly Prison is supposed to be physically harsh, ergo malnutrition is standard, and you're supposed to have finical repercussions if you screwed up Don't make excuses for them because they are poor, tell them to be better people who don't go to jail in the first place
Comment from : @anonymous112

Surprise, surprise Even America's CJS is suffering from late-stage capitalism
Comment from : @conanichigawa

If you are going to jail for 5 years I don’t think it was a small mistake
Comment from : @DiegoGuerrero-zy5ne

It’s a business, profiting from people that have no options The phone companies make huge profits because it’s apparently a secure prison line I bet they are campaign donors
Comment from : @SnzA7

This is what the family court system does to fathers in the UK They use our children as prisoners and make us pay up to 50 to 60 of what we earn to fight for the chance to see them one day This is an unfortunate situation
Comment from : @badformatuk

I’m not surprised We are talking about the only country to oppose the idea that food is a basic human right
Comment from : @mastermati773

what a mess!
Comment from : @arthurmario5996

The USA, best country in the world Compare that to the hellish communist wasteland that calls itself Europe Something like that
Comment from : @lspcie

Gives a whole new meaning to "pay your debt to society"
Comment from : @MysteriousSoulreaper

Yet it wont change because noone will do anything
Comment from : @voradorhylden3410

Don’t commit crime
Comment from : @joshwright88

Oh FFS! This is ridiculous Monopolies and predatory practices inflicted with no alternatives Most of these are costs that should be borne by the state
Comment from : @bernarrcoletta7419

That’s literally what they get, they should also show this to middle schoolers and high schoolers so that they can understand that hardships that they will encounter for breaking the law Might help shed a light on this issue But no tax money should go to criminal after they have be proven guilty Before they are convicted is a different story
Comment from : @jorgelucero7567

America, the greatest nation that never was Even the prison system is corrupted by capitalism, leading to yet more crime
Comment from : @999benhonda
