damn, 20yrs x 365days oer year = 7,300 days
assuming one day 3 meals cost $10/- (negating inflation of the
dollar and rise in food prices)
assuming rental of inmate cell per person per day $10/-
(negating land cost rises in future)
7,300 days x $10 x $10 x 5fts criminals = $3,650,000
taxpayers money
damn it, i should have robbed this amount of money from gahmen
instead
