Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
We had a medium security state prison a few miles form here, that had started out as a boy's school (a.k.a. prison). There were a few guys that had spent most of their lives in there...first as teens, and then they continued their stay there as adults. One of them went in at about age 15 or 16, and after serving many years, he was released in his early to mid 40's. He had no place to go.....no known relatives.....nothing! So he got a ride into to town, walked into the corner grocery store, picked up a couple of things, and walked past the cashier and informed her that he was walking out without paying.....which he did. She called the police, and they found him sitting on a bench just down the street waiting for them. He walked over and told them he shoplifted the items....thus violating his parole...and he was returned down the road to the pen to complete his whole sentence.It works. We had one guy who would regularly throw a brick through the front door of the police station so the county would pay for his dialysis treatments while awaiting trial.
He did cooperate when we asked him to throw the brick through a smaller, less expensive window. Nice fellow, just broke and sick.
Some folks will do whatever it takes to survive, and really, who can blame them.
