In the U.S. we have this nice feature they call pay to stay. Where you get billed for being in prison. So you may very well be paying $25 a day to be in prison, and I think I remember seeing you can make about .86 cents a day working. So that’s like $4/week working, and you owe $175 that week in fees.

He’e probably say something about how all that debt will force him to grind harder. Guy earned $13/hr and lived alone and somehow found a lender to approve a 96-month lease on a basically new 4Runner, and that’s what he said when we all understandably gave him shit for his financial decisions
