Another Bright F#$%ing Idea
Where does Urkel get his brain trusts? Now the sheriff is getting into it.
- Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart is proposing some ideas to generate revenue for the county as it faces a $500 million budget deficit. The sheriff wants criminals to pay to be locked up and to foot the bill for their own medical expenses. It is an idea that is getting some support.
Um, support from whom? In what manner? Most county inmates are indigent, or have no visible means of legal support. And families certainly aren't going to be ponying up money that might already be earmarked for lawyers. This is a pipe dream. Urkel is going to be raising taxes, service charges and user fees at some point. And hopefully, a taxpayer revolt at some point will bring on the collapse of county government.

I have maintained for years that inmates should be forced to work at public works projects for their keep
Can you say chain gang?
They should also be forced to repay their victims.
My logic is that if I can be held liable for monetary damages for something I did by accident ( car accident for example) then these POS should be held liable for things that theyve done intentionally
Putting them to work paving roads, cleaning garbage, cutting grass, removing debris from rivers and streams is much better than just allowing them to play basketball and watch TV all day
Good for Tom Dart
The nitwit Stroger is Beaver's total pupit...........When all the BS dies down these morono willl just raise taxes as usual...keep voting democRAT
They can sell more dope to pay the bill. Fuckin useless mutts that they are.
We could save money by having the PO's pay for gas for their squad cars..
If they were housed in Wis. they would have to pay for their transportation to the court house. Yes the prisoners have to Pay for their own transportation. Get with the times. Not everyone drops to their knees and gives these criminals everything they want. Some of these guys have a ton of money on the books. Some of these guys have a ton of money coming from the blocks that they control. I say make them pay up.
I picked up a prisoner from a jail in ? (I forget - Kane Co?) and they charged $35 of the bad guy for processing charge.
Yo, I don't be payin' my own bills, I lives wit my momma. Now you gonna be makin' me pay up while I be locked up? Maaaaaaaaan.
Aldercreature Steele is already against it!!

You have to have clout to do those jobs. :)
Why have it done for free by the inmates, when your childhood buddy needs a top paying job? They don't worry about saving the taxpayers any $. For Gods sake, did you get your tax bill?
Well, Dart has to do something to appease all the Irish coppers from Mt Greenwood who voted him in.
Why doesn't he just have a shamrock painted on the side of all the County Sheriff cars and shut the hell up!
It might be a pipe dream, but if we can even get a few bucks out of each inmate, like they illustrated in the original article about Kankakee county, the money generated would be enormous. How many inmates does Cook County process through each year anyway? Not all of them can be hypes and/ or homeless. But a better idea would still be to get rid of all of Urkels worthless ghost payroll workers. $170,000 to his sister-in-law? That has got to be legit.
Prison should be HARD.... Let them get up at 4am and break rocks all day.... Maybe that will deter people...
They charge inmates in some counties in Minnesota per day they are locked up. Some from $30-almost $50 a day. And....THEY GET SOME OF THE MONEY! Grant it they don't get a fraction of what is charged out, but if you don't pay, it is like a credit card bill and can't haunt you forever...I'm all for it!!!Money comes in for canteen, if you owe..GONE!!! Gotta love somethin those liberals have done up there!
PRISONER FAMILY MAY PUT MONEY INTO AN ACCOUNT FOR PRISONER TO BUY COOKIES,SOAP AND OTHER MISC. LETS SAY YOU HAVE A CREW OF POLICE OFFICER WHO WANT HOME MONITORING WOULD THEY PAY 500$. I BETCHA YOUR ASS YOU WOULD WITH OUT BLINKING AN EYE.
GREAT IDEA! THINK OUT OF THE BOX SON.
You want county jail or home monitoring while you wait for court case? (eexcept for violent crimes) Home monitoring will co$t you sucker! Bet the poor family will come up with $$ to let sonny boy out.
No shamrocks on the side of Sheriff's cars. Were just getting rid of all of the x-cpd from Mt. Greenwood, and there were a lot of them.
