@nprofile1q... , isn't the State a conglomerate of all it's people?
The statement that 'we don't pay for it' is a bit like throwing things away -
away is not a mystical place where things just don't exist anymore.
In the same way someone is paying for those imprisoned and I believe that they should be held accountable for their misdeeds by at least contributing to their upkeep.
That in my eyes is a separate issue from rehabilitation and integration back into society.
I believe that reoffending is so high exactly because there are so few points where people are truly held accountable and pay adequate indemnity for their actions.
