[QUOTE="klein, post: 970517, member: 23950"] [B]"Socialist" Canada pulls off another stunt : Federal prisoners to be charged more for room and board behind bars[/B] OTTAWA - Public Safety Minister Vic Toews is taking his get-tough on crime campaign a step further by making prison inmates pay more for room and board behind bars. The minister said Wednesday that Corrections Canada will also eliminate incentive pay for convicts who work in prison shops and turn the running of all prison canteens over to inmates. Other changes will streamline the way prisoners purchase products from the outside and make them pay to cover all the costs of their phone calls. Toews said the changes will save taxpayers $10 million a year. The change means that prisoners on the high end of the pay scale will have to pay 30 per cent of their income towards their keep.
