What little money they get they immediately give back.
Inmates are charged anywhere from $0.06 to $0.25 per minute for phone calls.
Prisons spend less than $2/day per inmate on meals,
barely enough for sustenance,
so many inmates supplement by purchasing from the prison commissary.
If that's not bad enough,
prisons in 40 states are so-called pay-to-stay,
charging prisoners for their accommodations.
