(12,869 posts)34. Let me paint another picture.
If I got jail I lose my SS ($33.00 per day) and Medicare.
I get $50.00 credit for every day.
Local tax payers pick up my medical ($1,500+ per month).
Local tax payers also pay approximately $200.00 per day for my stay.
I go from one to three meals a day.
