    It isn’t that nobody wants to pay for prisoners, but more that the country is full of puritan Calvinist predestination believers. They think something like, “everyone in prison is bad or evil (you can tell because they are in prison), so they deserve whatever happens. I, my friends, and my family will never go to prison because we are good.”
