    Drain my pockets

    This whole issue is a smokescreen.

    I'm sick and tired of paying to keep my share of my prisoner in jail at $500/year. I'm sick of having crap stolen by corner guys who live in run down urban areas. There is so much human capital in the US legally being wasted that it is criminal. All the business geniuses who want to line their pockets with illegal labor need to solve a real problem and figure out how to get those prisoners and corner guys out of my pocket.
