The memo noted that the court did not expect a significant increase in revenue if the ordinance is adopted because “those defendants who are convicted of crimes and incarcerated typically have limited funds” and the jail reimbursement would come after higher-priority collections, including victim restitution, fines, penalties and assessments.
How many prisoners still have jobs? How many are wealthy enough to have the money saved up?
You're probably all too right with this comment. And, if it is costing the Riverside taxpayers $142.42 per day per prisoner then the taxpayers should have a big problem with that. Only way it could be that expensive is by union workers or corruption or both. This seems to me to be a perfect candidate for kicking the county out and privatizing the county jail operation.
These fools think they are going to put liens on their houses.
Good luck with that one, jerks.
