You know medical care is expensive when you see a news story like this...

Yikes!!!  I hope it not a sign of things to come.

I wonder what happened to the $?


Did he stash it away for when he gets out?

Nope, he had to pay the Bouy tax.

FREE health coverage, a room, meals, education, free tv and movies,
free use of gym equipment, get to do light jobs around town...get
out and meet people...free internet, free utilities, free clothes, free clothes
cleaning, a small income to buy stuff in the little store....get to learn trades
like working with wood, repairing vehicles, cooking, sign painting....
and then there's the farm...where one can be around the horses
and other animals that the facility may have...like dogs used for tracking
ones that needed to escape to get more time there...
and then there's the visit time where one can enjoy the company of...well
whatever turns them on....and just think...no loud motorcycles to interupt
one's quiet time...noisey neighbors are dealt with immediately.

Yeah...I can see that being a real good life for some. Starve, die sick or freeze to
death on the sidewalk....or do some time....die or do some time....die or do some time...
Yeah...I hate to see that. Been going on for a long, long, lonely time.

That happened here in NC... he robbed the bank for ONE DOLLAR.... just to trigger his arrest for bank robbery. I read the story a day or so ago, and IIRC he lost his job and with it his health care plan..... and with no income could not pay for the things that he needed done to alleviate his back pain.

There are those who get arrested in the fall and do a crime that they know will get them 4 to 5 months in the county jail..... sure beats sleeping in the ally and bumming for food in the winter.
