Comments
Since every inmate incarcerated due to his/her inability to pay, that I know of, has told me they didn't 'voluntarily' unemploy themselves to go to jail, they LOST their jobs BECAUSE of going to jail, this bill actually makes sense.
Besides, since 'when' can the inmate 'voluntarily' walk out of jail to get another job?
