Speaking of chain gangs, why can't we have these guys and others like them, do the work that Americans don't want to do?
We're already paying money for them, why not put them to work and let them work off their sentence instead of sitting in a cell doing nothing.
This would seem to kill 2 birds with one stone - rid us of needing illegals to "work here" (yeah right) and put our tax dollars to work (literally). Not to mention all the money it would save us as well.
Hell, they're mostly ilegales anyway. Let them work for food. BTW, Sherriff Joe spends 15 cents a day per inmate for food.
