this in a country that is $16Tr in debt.Eleven inmates in a suburban New York jail have sued their prison for $500m (£300m) and access to dental floss, saying they are losing their teeth.
in the UK it costs over £2,000 a week to keep each prisoner in jail (about the same as a room at the Savoy).
those prisons in South America on Ross Kemp's TV programmes probably cost about £10 a week per prisoner - anyone else think this is a great out-sourcing opportunity?! pay the governments of these countries to take our scumbags... not only would it be a massive cost saving, but also a great deterrent.
