I do not know about America, but in Canada it cost's $100,000 to house one cell mate a year. I think that they should be ither sent to Siberia and forced to plant trees and build roads, and get a louf a bread a day like back in 1930s. Or they should be shoot, because alot of these people are not worth $100,000 a year, we can spend $1.25 on a bullet and put $99,998.75 dollars in to things like education and health care.So they should get a choice betweeen Siberia or a Bullet..... One thing for sure though is they should be made to suffer not like prisons these days where they have things like televisions and 3 meals a day.
