The Coffee County Jail in the west of the city looks inconspicuous from a distance.

The old fence is not even as good as the detention center in Carter's hometown in the previous life. The attitude of the prison guards is enthusiastic, after all, they are potential future bosses, but the direct person in charge of the prison, Coffee County Sheriff Malcolm, has a relatively cold reaction.

.

"This is the misdemeanor prison area. There are no jails in the county. They are all locked up together, separated by walls. Opposite is the serious offender prison area. I don't think you want to go there for sightseeing."

Walking in the corridor of the misdemeanor prison cell, Carter didn't care much about the other party's attitude. It was the food of the criminals on both sides that caught Carter's attention:

"The food standard here is not low, isn't it? No wonder you guys are losing money every year!"

I don’t know what kind of meat it is made of, along with a pile of vegetable salad and mashed potatoes. This meal may not have anything to do with “good food” in an ordinary family, but in an American prison, this meal

Just a little bit.

The Coffee County Jail is now publicly owned!

"They are still not satisfied with this standard! In the Committee of Commissioners, Commissioner Pons has been calling for them to improve their living standards. He said that in order to save costs, we make steaks and mashed potatoes every day. The nutrition is too simple and lacks selectivity. Yes.

Feeding animals, not taking care of people.”

"Democratic committee member?"

"Well, in addition, he is also opposed to prison outsourcing. However, Commissioner McGuire and Commissioner Neville supported it, 2 to 1, and the proposal passed. After the prison is in your hands, it should be easier to run, and he may not have the chance to intervene.

There are many, but you still have to pay attention to this aspect."

When Malcolm saw Carter stop, he also stopped. As a county sheriff different from the municipal police, Malcolm did not have to kowtow to Carter, but when faced with this annoying problem, his emotional tendency

But it is very obvious:

"Prison private ownership is a new thing. If we treat it as a private enterprise, the county won't be able to say anything. If you don't like the food standards, just lower them yourself. As long as you don't cause trouble!

My term ends in one year, don’t let me lose my term!”

"Don't worry, I can!"

After Carter nodded in assurance, the two continued to move to the next area.

Arriving at the heavy offender area, the five-person cell has been turned into a single room, and the activity area has become extremely limited. Seeing the unfamiliar face of Carter, some prisoners behaved relatively calmly, while some behaved inappropriately.

Got it

All kinds of unpleasant words such as "little pretty face" and "lick my balls" were floating in the ears of the two men. The prison guard who was eager to show off in front of Carter, the new boss, naturally took out the baton from his waist and beat it fiercely.

Holding the cell door open, he warned these people to keep their mouths clean by swearing, otherwise they would be able to eat your juice afterwards.

For a time, the felon prison area was bustling with activity

"There are too many windows, and the cell door is not closed. There are serious safety hazards, and they all need to be replaced. Sheriff Malcolm, isn't the county's quote too high for such a jail? These all cost money!"

The curse words were automatically filtered out, and Carter didn't look angry. Instead, he pointed at the iron gate of the prison, his face full of dissatisfaction.…

Look at the American prison cells in the movie. They are all heavy iron doors. There is a viewing window on the top for the prison guard to confirm whether the prisoner is alive, and a small window on the bottom for delivering meals.

Except for the two small windows, other places are completely closed. How can it be like this? A few iron railings form the prison door. This feeling and the psychological gap are as huge as the seller's show and the buyer's show when shopping!

While feeling that his money was being spent at a bit of a loss, Carter began to make mistakes and lower prices:

"And the quality of these walls and cell doors is worrisome. I don't think the materials used for these walls are any better. Expensive! Too expensive! Your quotation should be 2 million lower!"

"It's useless to talk to me about this matter. Contact the county. This is a county asset."

Like Carter, Malcolm didn't care about the clamor of those in the cage.

It's like being in a zoo. Behind the iron fence, no matter how ferocious the beast is, it can only become a plaything for tourists. As long as you don't know how to enter, the prison is never a scary place.

Carter was somewhat satisfied with the ferocious muscular men. They were all great laborers! There were not many old, weak, sick or disabled!

"Okay, that's basically it. There are 300 single rooms in the felon prison area, and 100 5-person rooms in the misdemeanor prison area, for a total of 400 permanent prison cells. In addition, there are two prison registration rooms, one large kitchen, and one small kitchen.

There are fifty prison guard dormitories, six punishment rooms, eight administrative offices, one police equipment warehouse, one uniform warehouse, one food warehouse and a yard outside for ventilation."

"This is all we have in the Coffee County Jail. The prisoner transfer vehicles and other assets are also included in the quotation. It will be time to relax soon, let's get out of here first!"

After coming out of the prison area, Carter and Malcolm went to the watchtower of the prison. From the perspective of the surveillance guards, they observed the prisoners below who had just come out for a walk.

Regarding the fact that the prisoners in the Coffee County Jail had no work at all, Carter had heard from Benjamin. There was no order to be made here, so it has been deserted, just watching the prisoners who are good at it and wandering around in the open space with nothing to do.

Or some of them might bully another group of people or something. Especially after seeing a group fight begin, Carter once again found a point where he could try to lower the price:

"The prisoner management is poor, the number of prison guards is insufficient, and the correctional effect is worrying. Chief Malcolm, if I want to renovate a prison like this, it seems that my costs will increase again! This daily release is also required by Commissioner Pons.

Right?"

"Who else but him?"

Malcolm shrugged. To him, it really didn't matter whether Carter lowered the price or not. As long as he could successfully get rid of this hot potato and reduce the burden, and there would be no trouble until the end of his term, that would be the best.

!

Malcolm didn't care whether the county would lose money or whether something would happen in the future.

"If we want to maintain daily release and achieve effective control, we must increase the number of prison guards by at least ten people. But these words, that's what I'm talking about here. In the future, whether you want to cancel daily release or increase prison guards, that's all.

It's your own business. I only want to show you around. For everything else, if you ask about the current situation of the prison, I will tell you. But what happens in the future, that is not what I should care about! The same goes for the price!"

"Okay, let's ask about the current situation. I noticed that petty criminals account for the majority in the prison. However, with the current operating mode, there is no need to produce or work, but there is a fixed food supply. Among these petty criminals, I am afraid that

Did someone get themselves in on purpose?"

"Yes, and there are a lot of them! There are 109 people who were caught stealing less than 400 US dollars. They will be released within two years, and 30% of them are repeat offenders."

"What great news! Now I feel like ten million is too much. Next question."
