Re: Pay to stay jails [DDA]

The fact is that with plenty of cash you can buy yourself protection in prisons as it is. I think there's something fundamentally wrong with separating prisoners on behalf of their wallets on the outside, simply because the worst criminals will have it easiest (white collar, organized crime), if there is supposed to be a prison system at all.
In Norway, it's a known fact that if you're a rapist or child molester, you get easier prison conditions then ordinary criminals. The same goes for white collar. If they could add on even better conditions by the power of their wallets, then you would a even bigger class difference inside, and that would not be good for the general prison population or the population in general.

As a more general comment, it's "funny" that she serves for drunken driving, one of the worst crimes you can commit of the common ones in my opinion. Take a look at criminal statistics and see the cost of drunken driving in society when it comes to injuries, deaths and cost of repairs compared to crimes that gives much more severe prison sentences (burglary, theft, graffiti).
