Per ACLU Ohio:

Our statewide investigation analyzes policies at 75 facilities representing 74 counties across Ohio. More than half of jails, 40 of the 75, charge people for their incarceration through a booking fee, a daily fee, or both. Ohioans are getting billed up to $66.09 a day to be in jail.

66 bucks a day? That's twice my mortgage.

And even better, it's totally legal to pay a prisoner less than minimum wage for whatever labor they contribute.

Is there a list of companies which use prison labour?
