How to use «Jail» in context?
In America today, there are more than 2 million people in jail, costing taxpayers over $52 billion every year. It is a system that is woefully broken and in need of reform.
Jail is one of the most expensive ways to deal with crime. The average prisoner costs taxpayers over $31,000 per year, and taxpayers spend over $60,000 per year on each inmate’s family members. This does not include the cost of bail, which can amount to almost half a million dollars for a single arrest.
Jail also does not work.
