So what’s it cost to send a person to jail for three days? When all aspects are included—court staff, jail staff, paperwork, food, facilities costs, etc—it’s got to be at least ten thousand dollars.
Maybe the guy can take comfort in knowing that they spent ten grand or so on him to teach him to pay his 50 cents to the state.
It ain’t 10K. All of that crap is still being paid for whether this fellow was sitting in the slammer or not. Frequently, inmates are required to pay the cost of their incarceration. I wonder if that happened here?
