You have a great point and since this “event” is in Boston, not so ridiculous as it sounds.
Seems to me that this state has way too much money for inmate cases. A state ought to set aside $1000 for each case and when that runs out....your case runs out. The purpose of a prison is to hold you until your sentence is finished...with simple three meals a day...a bunk...clothing...and basic health covered. You can guess why taxes are so high here.
