There are so many people who are victims of circumstance, who committed crimes of , or maybe lacked a governor on their anger and pulled a trigger they shouldn't have in heat of the moment, and then there's guys like this. It cost $0 not to set people on fire just to watch them die in agony. Also, who gets a dollar sign tattooed to their face? It's trashy.

@happy1 @zhivi If you are going to force people to work without pay as part of their punishment, then at the very least they need to be provided with free phone calls and other opportunities to communicate with loved ones on the outside. Additionally, women should be provided with quality feminine hygiene products in a quantity that supports dignity and items such as incontinence underwear shouldn't be considered a privilege.
