I California, where I live it would cost us taxpayers $132,860 per
year to incarcerate them. That doesn't make ant sense or deter
anyone from stealing. 2nd, if you a rich, you can steal daily from people
that can't afford to sue you and get away with it. Make them work
to make things right and they won't do it again !
