So, If You Were to Refuse to Pay, Would They Evict You From Prison?

For anyone who believes crime doesn't pay, tell that to the New York state legislator who introduced a "Madoff" bill on Monday. Rich New Yorkers convicted of crimes would be forced -- if his bill becomes law -- to pay the state and federal governments for how much it costs to keep them in jail.
The Chinese make condemned prisoners pay for the ammunition used to kill them. This isn't any different, except in degree.

Personally, I'd tell them to go fuck themselves.

  1. If you don't pay, what do they do, throw you in jail?

  2. Naw, they go after your assets -- seize your bank accounts or seize your home and sell it off for cash or whatever. Frankly, I think it's a peachy keen idea. There's nothing that punishes a rich prick more than seizing his money so that he gets released as a poor prick.
