Wisconsin Prison Inmates Getting Stimulus Checks

$1,400 for most prison inmates getting stimulus checks, who of course, have no income or virtually no income because they’re incarcerated.

We were told by a source in the Wisconsin state prison system that people would be shocked if they knew how many inmates are getting economic stimulus checks from the government.

The checks keep flowing into the prisons, the source said.

How many Wisconsin inmates are getting checks? The prison system says it’s impossible to calculate, but, with approximately 20,000 inmates, and based on what our source told us, it’s a lot.

These $1400 stimulus checks go to prisoners across America because of a permanent injunction put out October 2020 from Judge Phyllis J. Hamilton of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. Sadly it's still in effect as it has not gone up to be overturned.

First inmate: Mine’s going to a no-serial number untraceable handgun.

Second inmate: Mine’s going to ammo for it. Cost is way up.

First: Isn’t it good now that we’re a couple? We can save on so many things when we get out together in six months.

Those will go a long way toward goods from the commissary, paying people off not to shank you, etc.

Whether it’s right or wrong, they also got both rounds of stimulus checks in 2020.

.380 going for $2.00/round

Woo hoo!! Cigarettes for life! And when your 30 years is up, that $1400 will be at $8,000 with interest!!

The stimulus checks are wrong for prisoners and wrong for Americans who are not in prison.

Out of control government spending no matter who received the checks.

I think it was my dvd of the Darren McGavin Mike Hammer series (1950s) where a cop said of a dead criminal he came upon:
“Somebody spent 6 cents for the bullet to kill him.”

That $8000 wouldn’t buy a burger in 30 years.

Confiscate it immediately for room and board costs.
