It's the Money Honey - Cities and Counties Getting Cash for Detaintees

$140 a day for most detainees that we could keep track of until they leave by spending $18 a day for renting an electronic bracelet. 75% of detainees do not have any criminal record. So, was the last administration pumping up those in jail to "buy" support and look as if they were "doing something" about keeping us safe when most of the cash was being used to subsidize private jails who had many Republicans on their Boards of Directors. A billion spent last year here instead of many other good uses, or just give us back $1 billion!
