I'm one of the guys who got paid to keep these fuckers locked up and later to go out and catch them and get them locked up. Let me let you in on a dirty little secret. You always hear about what it "supposedly" costs to lock somebody up. But, do you EVER hear what is costs to prosecute them? How much is the judge paid, the prosecutor, the defense attorney (and, by the way the taxpayer almost always foots the bill of the guilty miscreant)... and all the associated costs that go along with it. The court systems "COSTS" are rarely if EVER mentioned in all of this. To the courts, the lawyers, the judges... the asshole who deserves being locked up is nothing but a revenue generator. The perpetrators keep them in high paid gigs. Why the hell would THEY want them locked up? It makes THEM MONEY! It really is JUST that simple! In Law Enforcement, we LEO's had an expression... "...we have the BEST legal justice system that money can buy..." If you have ENOUGH money, you can buy your way through it... If you're some working class guy, they'll suck every penny they can out of you. If you're some dog-ass criminal, they make the taxpayer pay for trying to keep the worthless piece of shit out on the street to generate more work(money) for them.
