They get education and healthcare at taxpayers expense, not to mention three meals and a bed. Maybe they like it in jail? Plenty of drugs in there and all the sex they want.

The real question should be is what moron left the keys available when they have work release criminals around? again how many times do have to ask for true accountability?
