Comment on My brother got arrested for a dime bag. His picture got put up on the jails website. And they advertise. So shouldn't my brother get paid at least a little for providing clicks?

Why does a jail have a website?

Why does a publically owned website have ads? It should be funded by the public as a service, not as a product.

Are you sure it’s publicly owned?

  no, but institutions that deal with the identity of those involved in the justice system *should* be, so I’m assuming that it is.

    What should be and what is are two different things. I’m just saying that in the US at least, much of the carceral state is privatized.
