N.Y. Considers Charging Rich Inmates For Jail Stay

7-22-09
NPR (Audio)

Excerpt:
A New York state legislator has introduced a bill that would require wealthy New Yorkers convicted of crimes to pay the cost of their jail sentence. State officials estimate that housing inmates costs counties about $1 billion a year. The bill proposes a sliding scale: Convicts worth $200,000 or more would pay the entire tab; but those with a net worth of $40,000 or less could go to jail for free.
