Jason Pizzo on Crime

 

 


Florida "pay to stay" law is ridiculous, needs to be changed

A state legislator says changes need to be made after the ABC Action News I-Team revealed the impact of Florida's "pay to stay" law. This law allows prison inmates to be charged $50 a day, in some cases for years beyond the time they actually served. "For someone to actually be out free and clear, not on probation, have served the entirety of their sentence and they're still getting billed for another 5, 6, 700 days or nights? That's ridiculous," Pizzo said.
