This is just like what happens with the commissaries in prison. The fees to add money just wipes out any money that people can put in. We really need to reform our prisons. My view is if we a society decide we need to take away their freedom, we need to pay for it, not the families or the prisoners. I think that making the government pay to put them away will really cause us to look at what crimes we are really willing to punish with long prison sentences. We would also need to eliminate the kickbacks from companies that provide services, so the government is really looking to make the best choice via cost and benefits.
