Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 477 Prison Visit
The Coffey County Jail in the west of the city is so inconspicuous from a distance.

The old fence is not even as good as the detention center in Carter's hometown in his previous life.The attitude of the prison guards is rather enthusiastic, after all, they are the possible future bosses, but the direct person in charge of the prison, Malcolm, the sheriff of Coffey County, reacted relatively coldly.

"This is the misdemeanor prison area. There are no jails in the county, so they are all locked up in one block, separated by a wall. The opposite is the felony prison area. I think you don't want to go sightseeing."

Walking in the corridor passage of the misdemeanor prison room, Carter didn't care much about the attitude of the other party.It was the meals of the criminals on both sides that caught Carter's attention:
"The food standard is not low, is it? No wonder you lose money every year!"

I don't know what kind of meat is made of patties, and there is a stack of vegetable salad, plus the main course of mashed potatoes.If this meal is placed in an ordinary family, it may not have anything to do with "good food", but if it is in an American prison, it is a bit.
The Coffey County Jail is now publicly run!

"They are still not satisfied with this standard! In the Commissioner Committee, Commissioner Pons has been calling for them to improve their living standards, saying that in order to save costs, we make steaks and mashed potatoes every day. The nutrition is too simple and lacks selectivity. Yes Feeding animals, not caring for people."

"A member of the Democratic Party?"

"Well, in addition, he is also opposed to the outsourcing of prisons. However, Commissioner McGuire and Commissioner Neville support it, 2 to 1, and the proposal is passed. After the prison is in your hands, it should be easier to handle. The chances of him intervening are not good. There are many, but you still have to pay attention to this aspect.”

When Malcolm saw Carter stop, he stopped too.As a county sheriff different from the town police, Malcolm did not have to bow down to Carter, but when faced with this annoying question, his emotional tendency was very obvious:

"Private prisons are a new thing. If you look at it as a private enterprise, the county should not be able to say anything. If you think this food standard is not pleasing to your eye, you can lower it yourself. As long as you don't cause trouble! My term of office is one year away, don't let me lose my job at the end of the year!"

"Don't worry, I will!"

After Carter nodded his reassurance, the two continued on to the next area.

In the prison area for heavy offenders, the five-person cell has become a single room, and the activity area has become extremely limited.Seeing Carter's unfamiliar face, some prisoners behaved rather flatly, while others behaved inappropriately
All kinds of unpleasant words such as "little boy" and "lick my balls" lingered in the ears of the two of them.The prison guard, who was eager to show himself in front of Carter, the new boss, naturally took out his baton from his waist and knocked on the door of the cell.In the way of cursing, warn this group of people to keep their mouths clean, or you will have your juice afterwards.
For a while, the recidivist prison area was bustling with excitement
"There are too many windows, and the cell door is not closed. There are serious safety hazards, and all of them need to be replaced. Sheriff Malcolm, the price for such a prison in the county is too high, right? All of these will cost!"

Carter didn't look annoyed at automatically filtering out the swear words.Instead, he stretched out his finger to the iron gate of the prison, his face full of dissatisfaction.
Watching the American prison cells in the movie, they are all heavy iron doors, with a viewing window for the prison guards to confirm whether the prisoners are alive, and a small window for delivering meals below.
Except for two small windows, the other places are completely closed.How is it like the one in front of you?A few iron railings make up the prison door. This feeling, this psychological gap, is like when shopping, the seller's show and the buyer's show are as huge!
While feeling that his money was a little lost, Carter began to pick the wrong price:

"There are also these walls, the quality of the prison doors is worrying, I don't think the materials used for this wall are much better. Expensive! Too expensive! Your quotation should be 200 million lower!"

"It's useless for you to tell me about it. Find the county. This is the county's property."

Like Carter, Malcolm didn't care about the yelling of those in the cage.

It's like in a zoo, no matter how fierce the beast is, it can only be reduced to a plaything for tourists through the iron fence.As long as you don't go in, prison is never a scary place
The vicious muscular men, on the contrary, looked a little satisfied with Carter.They are all great laborers!There is no old, weak, sick or disabled!

"Okay, that's about it. There are 300 single rooms in the prison area for serious offenders, 5 rooms for 100 people in the prison area for petty criminals, and a total of 400 standing cells. In addition, there are two prison registration rooms, one large kitchen, one small kitchen, There are fifty prison guard dormitories, six punishment rooms, eight administrative offices, one police equipment warehouse, one clothing warehouse, one food warehouse, and a yard outside to let the wind out."

"This is all we have at the Coffey County Prison. The prisoner transfer vehicles and other assets are also included in the quotation. It's time for the release soon, let's get out of here first!"

After coming out of the prison area, Carter and Malcolm came to the watchtower of the prison.Standing from the perspective of the monitoring prison guard, observing the prisoners who just came out for a briefing
Carter heard from Benjamin that the prisoners in the Coffey County Jail did not work at all.There was no order to be made here, so it has been deserted, just watching those good-handed prisoners wandering around in the open space with nothing to do.

Or some of them, bully another group of people or something, especially after seeing a group fight start, Carter once again caught the point where he can try to lower the price:

"The prisoner management is poor, the number of prison guards is insufficient, and the correctional effect is worrying. Sheriff Malcolm, if I want to clean up such a prison, my cost will increase again! This daily release is also requested by Commissioner Pons right?"

"Who else but him?"

Malcolm shrugged. For him, it really doesn't matter whether Carter lowers the price or not.As long as he can get rid of this hot potato smoothly, reduce the burden and at the same time, until the end of his term, without any trouble, that's the best!

Malcolm doesn't care whether the county will lose money because of this, or whether there will be accidents in the future.

"If you want to maintain daily releases and achieve effective control, you need at least ten more prison guards. But these words, I'm just talking about it here. If you want to cancel the daily releases in the future or increase prison guards, it's all up to you." Your own business. I just show you around, all other things, about the current situation of the prison, you ask, I will tell you, but what about the future, that is not what I should care about! The price is the same!"

"Okay, let's ask the current one. I noticed that petty criminals make up the majority of prisons. With the current mode of operation, there is no need for production or labor. Instead, there is a fixed supply of food. Among these petty criminals, I'm afraid Someone got himself in on purpose, right?"

"Yes, and there are a lot of them! A total of 400 people were arrested for stealing less than $109. All of them will be released within two years of detention, and [-]% of them are repeat offenders."

"That's great news! Now I feel like ten million is more. Next question."
