how jamie comer porked
hb70 to include a
huge kickback to the
private prison system
By Joshua Campbell
I love the idea but I wonder what the fine print of this is... in #HB70 in which this ExeOrder came from one provision was:
HFA (6, J. Comer Jr.) - Retain original provisions and amend to require that before any felon may have voting rights restored the felon must reimburse the state for 25 percent of the cost of the felon's detention.
That is a HUGE kickback to a private prison system by the state and that doesn't set well with me...
