Professional Prisoner

I’ve always questioned the government practice of “suspending” cops and other offenders who are government employees “with pay” while their cases are investigated. I’ve always wondered why a ”vacation with pay” was any kind of punishment. Now I wonder about prison for criminals. We give them paid rent, paid food, paid medical care, paid educations, etc. The guy in this story wouldn’t leave prison if you tried to force him. He’d commit another crime to stay in. There must be some way to make a stay in prison more onerous. (Telegraph)
