Chapter 478 No wonder the prisoners have to be paid wages
“Special meals? Boss”
I know everything else, but special meals.
Pris raised his head blankly.
"Just pay to order food and open a small stove. If you have money, you can add food. If you don't have money, just eat pancakes!"
Carter reached out and knocked on the table, signaling the other person to quickly write down the note.
In this era of private prisons, I don’t know if they exist, but they are definitely not popular. The model of prisoners paying to order food is really a new thing. Carter is not surprised by Pris’ surprise, because Carter believes that Pris’s surprise is far from over.
.
And this is also the purpose of Carter's special visit:
"As a benevolent person, I will definitely not let them idle. That will do nothing but gain weight, and obesity is also a threat to physical health. In order to ensure that our prisoners eat well, live a good life,
Healthy sunshine! I decided to find something for them to do. Of course, I will contact you when I find the specific job."
"But within the next six months, I need you to organize the prisoners and level out a new site! I will ask Dog Construction to send a construction team over to circle the land first. Then you will organize the prisoners to work under the supervision of the prison guards.
Next, build the factory and wait for news from me. Prisoners should be paid for their work. After all, we have to respect human rights, right?"
"With an hourly wage of 50 cents, if you work eight hours a day, you can earn 4 US dollars, which is about 120 US dollars a month. Although it is not as much as a normal worker's salary, we are prisoners after all, and we must also consider the cost of incarceration and the purpose of correction.
This can also better help them integrate into society after they are released from prison, and contribute to social public services, right?"
"Isn't that right? Boss, you mean to pay wages to the prisoners?!"
As Carter expected, Price was shocked again.
It's not unusual to let the prisoners work. After all, these labor forces are empty when they are empty. But paying the prisoners wages, my God.
Is Douglas really a good person? He is not a liar?!
"Yes, send it!"
Carter blinked at Pris with a harmless smile on his face:
"No matter who asks, you must remember! Our Kofi Prison is a prison that respects human rights and advocates equality for all. The mistakes of prisoners should not be remembered. Instead, we must help these lost people return to the right path.
.Remember? This is the construction program of Kofi Prison."
"Yes, I remember, it's just"
"Don't worry, second point! Get the notes!"
Knocking on the table, Carter continued:
"I took a look before and found that the single room in the serious offender area is not small. There is room for one more bed. No, if it is a bunk bed, you can add three more beds. There is also a light offender area. I will change everything later.
Make it into a bunk bed with bunk beds. I’ll make it and deliver it!”
"In this way, the 100-room misdemeanor prison area can accommodate a thousand people at the same time. No, they are in prison! The serious offenders prison area needs to be screened for serious offenders."
"Can a felon convicted of stealing a thousand yuan or the like be sentenced the same as a felon convicted of intentional injury or housebreaking and robbery? No, right?!"
"First, renovate two hundred prison cells for felons into multi-person rooms, and move those felons with 20-year prison sentences there. The remaining 100 cells will be demolished and rebuilt into 200 smaller single rooms, specifically for those 20 years old.
It is used for prisoners serving sentences of more than 10 years. In addition, the cell doors and cell walls need to be reinforced or replaced.”…
"I've written down the program requirements, as well as who to contact for everything. Nanny-level service, Mr. Preece! I'll leave these simple things to you. I don't think you'll let me.
Are you disappointed?"
"No! Of course not! Coco, boss, will this be a waste?"
A heavy cold sweat was flowing on Pris' forehead.
Good guy, the prison originally had a standard capacity of 800 people. With Carter's changes, one thousand people can be imprisoned for misdemeanors alone, and another thousand for felons. This is a full 2.5 times increase from the original standard.
Damn it, how many people are there in the entire Coffey County?!
How could there be so many criminals?!
If you don't count the new population flowing into Douglas, there were originally only about 70,000 people in the entire Coffee County. If there were really 2,000 people incarcerated, that guy would
The incarceration rate is directly above 2.8%, with an average of three out of 100 people imprisoned. And this is after counting women, the elderly and children. If we use a specific group of people as a reference, then this incarceration rate
I’m afraid this will make me famous all over the United States!!
"Absolutely not! When the time comes, this prison will not only be for Coffee County. We will accept prisoners from Atkinson County, Owen County, and Crawford County next door! Of course, the immigration police of the Immigration Bureau or the Department of Homeland Security
We can accept illegal immigrants, stowaways caught by the Border Patrol, or drug dealers caught by the DEA! Such a prerequisite requires you to preside over the transformation of our Coffey Prison. Do you understand?
?”
"I understand, I understand"
So ambitious!
Price muttered while writing down Carter's request.
"Very good, third point! The prison must be rich! The current prison is too monotonous, which is not conducive to the mental health of the prisoners. Therefore, in addition to paying for ordering food, shops must be opened, and some activity centers must also be opened.
Get up! There are billiard rooms, basketball courts, football fields, and even karaoke rooms, all of them!"
Preece:???
Are you building a prison or a resort?!
As the saying goes, when something goes wrong, there must be a monster. At this time, even if Price's reaction was slow, he realized that Carter was holding something bad.
Unable to see the surprised expression on Pris's face, Carter also understood that there was no point in continuing to sell at this stage. So, Carter saw this and said:
"Of course, all of this has to be paid for!"
"You need to pay for ordering food, paying for shopping in stores, and participating in entertainment activities, including outdoor activities! You also need to pay! The charging standards are on this table!"
After receiving the Coffey Prison price list from Carter, Preece opened his eyes.
The first thing that catches your eye is: free movement in a specific area, commonly known as outdoor recreation, priced at US$8 per hour!
Forget that there is a charge for the release, and the blood mother is expensive, what makes Pris speechless the most is that behind the price, there is a crooked bracket: the maximum purchase limit in a single day is 4 times, and the service needs to be redeemed by accumulating at least 10 prisoners.
Afterwards, the payment will be made uniformly.
A tour costs 8 US dollars an hour, which is so expensive. Prisna is really afraid to look at the rest of the projects.
But looking at the eyes of Carter, the new boss, Price had to bite the bullet and look at it. Sure enough:
Billiard room, US$40 per hour; Basketball, US$80 per hour; Football, US$120 per hour; Karaoke, US$160 per hour
Paid meals:
Green salad, $10; patty taco, $20; burger, $30
If you want to order food, congratulations, it starts at fifty dollars!
Paid products:
Coca-Cola, $5 a bottle; off-brand beer, $8 a bottle.
All in all, the cheapest items are more than five times higher than the market price.
No wonder they have to pay wages to the prisoners. They eat corn cakes every day, even an iron man can't bear it!
And as long as the prisoners spend the money, hey!
All back!
Chapter completed!
