Shocking Truth: Inmates' Pay-to-Stay Scheme: Pay-to-stay is a controversial practice in the United States that charges prisoners for their jail accommodations. As of 2021, about 40 states have pay-to-stay programs, but implementation and fees can vary by county. In Florida, for example, prisoners are charged $50 per day for their sentence, even if they are released early. This can result in large debts that former inmates are unable to repay, which can make it difficult for them to reintegrate into society. Some say that pay-to-stay laws are cruel, inefficient, unconstitutional, and not proportionate to the offense or the individual's financial situation. Others say that the law can be used as a form of retaliation to prevent people from filing lawsuits against the state. TubeBuddy - Channel growth and management tool for YouTubers.
